Flagship programmes are interventions to address high priority national issues that require multi-sectoral collaboration and coordination in a concerted manner. In addition to regular 12th FYP programmes, flagship programmes are designed as key means to achieve the National Key Result Areas (NKRAs) through implementation of high priority programmes.
Some of the high priority national issues to be addressed through the flagship programmes are economic growth and diversification, employment generation, access to reliable and safe drinking water, efficiency and effectiveness of public services, waste management, health and education.
