This panel, including ministers representing strategic sectors, will conduct a comprehensive review and audit of the financial frameworks and policy guidelines of the social investment programs. The goal is to implement a total re-engineering of the financial architecture, with detailed modifications to the procedures guiding the programs’ implementation moving forward.

The members of the Special Presidential Panel are as follows:

3. Honourable Minister of Budget and Economic Planning – Member
4. Honourable Minister of Information and National Orientation – Member
5. Honourable Minister of Communications, Innovation, and Digital Economy – Member
