Japan has contributed development assistance to Namibia worth N$80 billion over the past two decades, including in technical assistance, grants and scholarships.
National Planning Commission (NPC) executive director I-Ben Nashandi says Namibia has benefited from support in infrastructure planning, agricultural productivity and community empowerment.
He said this at the 20th anniversary of the Japan International Cooperation Agency (Jica) in Namibia in Windhoek last Wednesday.
“In development cooperation, we count projects and beneficiaries that have been reached. Japan’s contribution to different sectors to date amounts to over N$80 billion. Close to half – N$47 billion – is in grants and development assistance. That accounts to almost one year of Namibia’s budget,” Nashandi said.
