A WHOLE-OF-GOVERNMENT approach is key in realizing the policies and strategies of the upcoming Philippine Development Plan (PDP) 2023-2028 geared toward job creation and speeding up poverty reduction in the country, the National Economic and Development Authority (NEDA) said on Monday.

In a forum with government information and communication officers in preparation for the PDP's completion next month, NEDA Secretary Arsenio Balisacan underscored that collaboration among communication teams of offices within the government is an integral part of the whole-of-government approach for development planning.
