The National Economic and Social Development Office (NESDO) is the only state agency under the aegis of my Department.

The membership of the Board of the NESDO comprises the Chairperson and Deputy Chairperson of the National Economic and Social Council (NESC). There are 33 members on the NESC. Members do not receive any remuneration in relation to their roles on the Board/Council so the question of savings does not arise.
