The  government’s strategic goals are stated in the Multi-annual Development Plan 2006-2010 (MOP 2006-2010). The MOP 2006-2010 has three pillars:

1. Economic Development
2. Social Development
3. Righteous distribution of wealth.

The main goal for economic development is doubling of the per capita GDP in 2020. This will be realized by a greater emphasis on the domestic private sector, especially knowledge intensive sectors. Also the creation of (international) business clusters will be stimulated to create scale advantages and access to knowledge and technology. The following sectors have been identified as high potential: tourism, water industry, handicraft, livestock and traditional dance and music.
