Ladies and Gentlemen, I have come to learn and agree with the proponents of the saying: “if you cannot measure it, you cannot manage it”. This cannot be more relevant to us, given our current efforts of wanting to address the socio-economic challenges facing our country. As a country, Namibia is being haunted by challenges of unemployment, poverty, financial exclusion amongst others.
We are also nearing the end of the Systems Renewal Programme we embarked on a few years ago, and are currently at an advanced stage of a Custodian Review.
