The National Economic and Social Development Office (NESDO) has been established under the terms of the National Economic and Social Development Act 2006.
The new office incorporates the National Economic and Social Council (NESC) and the National Economic and Social Forum (NESF), and the National Centre for Partnership and Performance (NCPP).
The primary role of NESDO is to add value
to the work of its constituent bodies through collaborative policy development
initiatives. In particular, the Office performs its role by:
• facilitating and promoting complementary programmes
of research, analysis and discussion by the NESC, NESF and NCPP;
• providing shared administration and support services
for the three constituent bodies; and
• submitting to Government reports, recommendations
or conclusions by a constituent body and arranging for their publication.
