NIDA Flagship Interventions 2020-2025
NIDA has identified flagship projects during the transition period since its establishment in November 2018. These are large scale business ventures for which NIDA has direct interests and dealings.
Overview
The projects are deemed critical and/or their implementation has mass positive multiplier effects to the rest of the economy and particularly for the areas that can catalyze the aspired transition towards Namibia’s industrialization and socio-economic transformation. During the implementation years, NIDA will focus on equipping SEZ industrial parks and logistical centers with the requisite infrastructure and other pertinent logistical services to facilitate the establishment of viable production units for goods and services, mainly led by the private sector.
The flagship projects do not list the MSME parks currently under construction, and any other enterprises within each value chain. It is anticipated that the implementation of flagship projects will yield clear, and in some cases rapid tangible positive results in relation to NIDA’s mandate and its Integrated Strategic Business Plan objectives and targets.
