The ministry said engagement sessions were also held with other ministries, state governments and relevant agencies to ensure project priorities were based on needs, implementation capacity and established timelines.
"This is to ensure that approved projects can be implemented in an orderly manner, fully utilised within the current year and completed according to schedule for the wellbeing of the people, state development and local communities," it said.
The ministry said 13MP had also set a target of having no development projects pending commencement in the second year after approval, with the target set at zero per cent by 2030.
