A BPS is a medium-term national strategy that takes into account all sectoral and Ministerial strategies to implement the Vision 2030 Medium-Term Plan. The BPS is, therefore, a rolling strategic plan to achieve our national development objectives, indeed, as outlined in the Vision 2030 and its Medium-Term Framework."}
