MICRO, SMALL & MEDIUM ENTERPRISES DEVELOPMENT
One of our key functions is to coordinate MSME activities across all levers of the economy, ensuring the successful implementation of the National MSME Policy. We provide targeted support to foster the growth and scalability of MSMEs and startups, recognising their critical role in shaping a prosperous future for Namibia.
By actively promoting local MSMEs, we can unlock opportunities that catalyse inclusive economic growth and prosperity for all Namibians. Through capacity-building initiatives, market access programs, business advisory services, and ecosystem optimization efforts, we are empowering businesses to thrive. We invite the Namibian businesses and civil community to join us in supporting these empowering efforts, amplifying their potential impact to our economy.
