Swakopmund became the epicentre of continental dialogue on public service excellence as Namibia hosted the 19th Africa Public Service Day (APSD) celebrations from 21 to 23 July 2026.

The three-day event, held at The Dome, brought together public servants from across the country to reflect on the role of effective governance in addressing one of the continent’s most pressing challenges, being universal access to water and safe sanitation.

This year’s commemoration was anchored under the theme, “Enhancing Public Sector Institutions and Empowering Multi-Stakeholder Partnerships to Achieve Universal Water Availability and Safe Sanitation by 2063.”
