…seeks industry input to help shape country's green industrialisation investment strategy Namibia has launched public consultations on its draft Sectoral Transformation Investment Plan (s-TIP) as it seeks to unlock up to US$250 million in concessional financing to accelerate green industrialisation and attract significantly larger private and development investment. Speaking at the launch of the Climate Investment Funds (CIF) Industry Decarbonisation Programme validation workshop in Windhoek, National Planning Commission Acting Executive Director Sylvester Mbangu said the investment plan will position Namibia to seek approval from the CIF Trust Fund Committee later this year. Mbangu said the proposed funding is intended to reduce investment risk and mobilise substantially more capital from multilateral development banks, development partners and the private sector. "The opportunity before us is significant. Namibia is preparing an investment plan that could position the country to access up to US$250 million in concessional CIF capital," he said. thebrief.com.na/2026/08/nami… #namibia #investment #funding #industrialisation #privatesector @NPC_Namibia @gh2namibia

The National Planning Commission (NPC) has formally begun work on Namibia's next long-term development blueprint, launching a five-year strategy that will culminate in a successor to Vision 2030 and the drafting of the Seventh National Development Plan (NDP7). The NPC Strategic Plan for 2025/26 to 2029/30 places the development of a new national vision at the centre of government's planning agenda as Vision 2030 enters its final phase. Executive Director I-Ben Natangwe Nashandi said the plan provides the framework that will guide Namibia's development planning, implementation, monitoring and resource mobilisation over the next five years. A major deliverable under the strategy will be the formulation of a new long-term national vision to replace Vision 2030, alongside the preparation and Cabinet approval of NDP7. thebrief.com.na/2026/07/npc-… #namibia #planning #development #ndp7 @NPC_Namibia
