Role of Government in National Development• Government has since independence (1990) adopted planning
system as a development tool- strong commitment to planning-reflected in Article 129 of the constitution –which establishes the NPCS
• NPCS in Office of President, charged with the responsibility for planning of national priorities and directing the course of national development, as well as mobilizing and management of external resources
• Since Independence Namibia has implemented the following plans:– 1991-1994: Transitional NDP– 1995-2000: NDP 1– 2001-2005: NDP 2– 2007-2012: NDP 3 (current plan that is being implemented)

• Government's role in planning is to provide an enabling environment through an appropriate set of policies and incentives to be conducive for economic growth.
• The various O/M/As are responsible to initiate, implement and monitor and evaluate programmes and activities
• As well as to consult and negotiate in the formulation, implementation, monitoring and reporting of the programmes and activities

Donor Participation in past formulation and implementation of NDPs
• Namibia needed investment in development efforts after independence, 21 March 1990
• GRN funding was not sufficient to address disparities• GRN saw development as collective effort with development
partners• Geneva 1995 Donor Round Table was held-dialogue with
Development Partners-to achieve NDP1• External resources/support was solicit to implement the first
plan • Donor support came in form of financial and technical
assistance-orientation of policies, strategies and development programmes
• Donor assisted to properly allocate resources-with focus on national priorities

Vision 2030’s position of Development Partners
• Vision 2030 is a broad, unifying framework that will help guide the country’s five-year development plans
• External development partners-guided by national development priorities
• Main priority remain poverty reduction-economic growth
• External assistance-improve status of marginalized groups
• Should not perpetuate dependency or undermine national priorities/policies

Vision 2030 New Ways of Thinking and working
• Move from developing and implementing a fixed plan,
• Move from a view that it is the state or Government alone that is responsible for sustainable development
• Move from centralized and controlled decision making
• Move from a focus on outputs (e.g.
projects and laws)
• Move from sectoral planning
• Operating adaptive, dynamic systems or processes that can continuously improve.
• Responsibility to society as a whole with full partnership;
• Sharing results and concerted actions;
• Focus on outcomes (e.g. impact)
• Integrated planning – within and between sectors and institutions
