The central theme of the original SDC Blueprint (2008\u20132025) was \u201cHarnessing Unity for Wealth Creation and Social Well-Being\u201d. It is now superseded by the SDC Blueprint 2.0 (2021\u20132030) \u2014 its theme being \u201cSustainable Growth with Equity and Social Inclusion\u201d \u2014 which is a strategic plan that charts Sabah\u2019s development till 2030, having appraised the progress made during the first SDC Blueprint and taken into account the opportunities and challenging economic environment going forward. The process involved extensive research and analysis, as well as engagement with a number of stakeholders within and outside Sabah.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/sedia.com.my\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/SEDIA-Continues-Economic-Growth-through-SDC-Blueprint-2.0-2-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1481\" width=\"794\" height=\"529\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sedia.com.my\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/SEDIA-Continues-Economic-Growth-through-SDC-Blueprint-2.0-2-1.jpg 518w, https:\/\/sedia.com.my\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/SEDIA-Continues-Economic-Growth-through-SDC-Blueprint-2.0-2-1-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 794px) 100vw, 794px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/sedia.com.my\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/SEDIA-Continues-Economic-Growth-through-SDC-Blueprint-2.0-3-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1482\" width=\"796\" height=\"530\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sedia.com.my\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/SEDIA-Continues-Economic-Growth-through-SDC-Blueprint-2.0-3-1.jpg 601w, https:\/\/sedia.com.my\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/SEDIA-Continues-Economic-Growth-through-SDC-Blueprint-2.0-3-1-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 796px) 100vw, 796px\" \/><figcaption>SEDIA Chief Executive Datuk Seri Panglima Haji Hashim Paijan (centre) with Malaysian Anti- Corruption Commission Director Datuk Karunanithy A\/L Y.

This blueprint is aligned with the Federal Government\u2019s Shared Prosperity Vision 2030 (SPV2030) and <em>Keluarga Malaysia <\/em>concept as well as the State Government\u2019s <em>Sabah Maju Jaya <\/em>plan. Additionally, in line with Malaysia\u2019s commitments towards responsible global citizenship, the SDC Blueprint 2.0 provides an opportunity to connect Sabah\u2019s development priorities with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. Continuing the legacy of the first blueprint, the SDC Blueprint 2.0 will ensure holistic development through economic growth that is inclusive and sustainable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Five strengths stand out for Sabah moving forward: strategic location, biodiversity hotspots, rich natural resources, a nascent manufacturing sector, and a large talent pool.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"597\" height=\"858\" src=\"https:\/\/sedia.com.my\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/SEDIA-Continues-Economic-Growth-through-SDC-Blueprint-2.0-4-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1483\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sedia.com.my\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/SEDIA-Continues-Economic-Growth-through-SDC-Blueprint-2.0-4-1.jpg 597w, https:\/\/sedia.com.my\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/SEDIA-Continues-Economic-Growth-through-SDC-Blueprint-2.0-4-1-209x300.jpg 209w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 597px) 100vw, 597px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>The SDC\u2019s strengths were recalibrated relative to other states in Malaysia, and in consideration of regional opportunities within the Brunei-Indonesia-Malaysia- Philippines East ASEAN Growth Area (BIMP-EAGA); on this note, SEDIA has begun a study titled \u201cSabah Border Economic Development Master Plan Study, in view of Indonesia\u2019s upcoming capital Nusantara.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The SDC Blueprint 2.0 is an ambitious, transformative plan formulated to stimulate economic growth while ensuring inclusivity and sustainability. Effective implementation is vital to ensure that the SDC Blueprint 2.0 theme \u2014 Sustainable Growth with Equity and Social Inclusion \u2014 becomes a reality. Towards this end, the SDC delivery mechanism has been updated in response to the changing economic and social environment. SEDIA continues to promote and accelerate the growth of the SDC, while ensuring that social, environmental and sustainable development priorities are upheld.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The current institutional framework for the SDC is well laid out, with SEDIA as an agency of the Federal Government, working under the State Government, and in close collaboration with State Agencies and local authorities. As an agency with links to both the Federal and State governments, SEDIA plays a key role in connecting investors, businesses, the government, talents and communities to deliver outcomes across the SDC, as guided by the SDC Blueprint. Going forward, SEDIA\u2019s role remains vital to ensure effective delivery of the SDC Blueprint 2.0 in line with the aspirations of SPV2030 and <em>Sabah Maju Jaya<\/em>.
