New Equitable Economic Empowerment Framework (NEEEF)

The New Equitable Economic Empowerment Framework (NEEEF) is aimed at the development and growth of the Namibian economy by bringing the previously disadvantaged into the main stream of economic activities. By doing so, the economy will develop and expand sufficiently to provide adequate jobs to curb growing unemployment and poverty, and address the social needs and security of all Namibians.

  • Ownership
  • Management Control and Employment Equity
  • Human Resource and Skills Development
  • Entrepreneurship Development and Marketing
  • Corporate Social Responsibility
  • Value Addition, Technology and Innovation
