Five-Year Plans of the Wechua Nation
The Five-Year Plans of the Wechua Nation are a series of social and economic development initiatives issued by the restored government of the Sapa Wechua Manco Capac in 1673 AN. After a decade of civil strife and regional warfare, the Five-Year Plans played a central role in the reconstruction and development of the reestablished Wechua state.
The Five-Year Plans were established by the Inkap Ratin Viraquirao Alvarez through the different regional and national sessions of the Regional Committees appointed by the Sapa Wechua after the Restoration to survey and establish plans for reconstruction and development from a localized community level all the way up to the national level. The plans play a leading role in establishing the foundations and principles of the national and regional reconstruction plans, mapping strategies for economic development, setting growth targets, and launching political and economic reforms.
The Five-Year Plans were enacted by Alvarez with the advice of key Wechu economists, political and military leaders, and entrepreneurs. They were originally proposed by the Social Democratic Club and the Guild of Building Trades.
History
Five-Year Plans (FYPs) are centralized and integrated national economic programs. They were employed with great effectiveness in Constancia. The Constancian experience, witnessed first hand by the Sapa Wechua and the Government-in-Exile set up in Nivardom, made a big impression on the Wechu disapora based in Constancia. It was in exile that a Committee for the Restoration was convened by the Sapa Wechua, which included representatives from every conceivable interest group in the Wechua Nation, and at the suggestion of the Social Democratic Club and the Guild of Building Trades that a national economic development program be instituted upon the recapture of the ancestral lands in Keltia.
Immediately after the capture of the ancestral lands, the restored government launched its first FYP in 1673. The FYPs are developed, executed, and monitored by the Wechua Planning Commission. With the Inkap Ratin (Wechua prime minister) as the ex-officio chairman, the commission has a nominated deputy chairman, who holds the rank of a Cabinet Minister.
First Plan (1673-1678)
The First Five-Year Plan was presented to the Council of the Nation and approved right after the Restoration, which mainly focused in the development of the primary sector.
The total planned budget was allocated to seven broad areas: irrigation and energy (27.2%), agriculture and community development (17.4%), transport and communications (24%), industry (8.4%), social services (16.6%), rehabilitation of landless farmers (4.1%), and for other sectors and services (2.5%). The most important feature of this phase was the active role of the state in all economic sectors. Such a role was justified because immediately after the end of the Wechua Sorrow and the Restoration, the Wechua Nation was facing chronic problems, with deficiency of capital and a low capacity to save among them.
Five Institutes of Technology were started as major technical institutions. The Higher Education Grants Commission was set up to take care of funding and take measures to strengthen higher education in the country.
Planning and development began of the Wechua National Redoubt and other defense construction plans were begun.
