About the forum
The inaugural Namibia Public-Private Forum brought together representatives from government, business, trade unions, civil society, academia and development partners to discuss Namibia’s competitiveness, inclusive growth and decent, sustainable job creation.
Chaired by H.E. Dr Netumbo Nandi-Ndaitwah, President of the Republic of Namibia, the two-day forum included high-level discussions and presentations from five sector-based and five issue-based working groups. The National Planning Commission led the public-sector delegation, with NIPDB serving as the secretariat.
The forum identified recommendations on the business environment, skills, investment and public-service delivery. The President also announced task forces on health, housing and economic recovery.
