Tonga Strategic Development Framework 2015-2025

The Tonga Strategic Development Framework II (TSDF II) provides a high-level unified vision that Tonga seeks to attain in the next 10 years. It builds on its predecessor TSDF I, improving on the Outcome Objectives and Enabling Themes of TSDF I by integrating them into a set of National Outcomes supported by Organizational Outcomes. These outcomes are intended to provide guidance to government agencies and other organizations on the outputs they need to deliver. The seven National Outcomes are: (i) a more inclusive, sustainable and dynamic knowledge-based economy, (ii) a more inclusive, sustainable and balanced urban and rural development across island groups, (iii) a more inclusive, sustainable and empowering human development with gender equality, (iv) a more inclusive, sustainable and responsive good-governance with law and order, (v) an more inclusive, sustainable and successful provision and maintenance of infrastructure and technology, (vi) a more inclusive, sustainable and effective land administration, environment management, and resilience to climate and risk, and (vii) a more inclusive, sustainable and consistent advancement of our external interests, security and sovereignty. The improvements in the TSDF II are intended to strengthen the role of the TSDF in the integrated planning and budgeting system of the Government of Tonga. The overall Vision of TSDF II is guided by the national Motto, "God and Tonga are my inheritance." The National Impact sought is "a more progressive Tonga supporting a higher quality of life for all."
