The Namibia Institute of Public Administration and Management (Nipam) has called for continued investment in public sector skills development. Nipam said capable institutions are built through skilled, ethical and committed employees.

Speaking at Nipam’s second Public Sector Awards Ceremony, Secretary to Cabinet and Nipam governing council chairperson Emilia Mkusa said public institutions must prioritise continuous learning, innovation and professional development to improve service delivery. Mkusa said the awards were not merely about recognising winners but about encouraging institutions to create environments where employees can grow and contribute meaningfully.

“Public institutions today operate in an increasingly complex environment, characterised by rapid technological advancement, growing citizen expectations and evolving governance challenges,” she said.
