National Action Plan

A national action plan is a document that outlines a government’s goals and strategies for addressing a specific issue or problem. National action plans are typically developed in response to a pressing concern or crisis, and they outline the steps that a government will take to address the issue and achieve its goals. National action plans can cover a wide range of topics, such as climate change, economic development, public health, or national security. They typically involve the coordination of multiple government agencies and may also involve partnerships with other organizations or stakeholders.
