Namibia Chamber of Commerce and Industry (NCCI) has called for reforms tailored to micro, small and medium enterprises (MSMEs), that allow them to generate sustainable, decent jobs and unlock opportunity at every level.
Chief Executive Officer Titus Nampala said MSMEs are central to inclusive growth. “No Namibian should be left behind, MSMEs are the heartbeat of inclusive growth. We must co-create solutions that generate sustainable, decent jobs and unlock opportunity at every level,” he said in an address to the Standing Committee on Economy and Industry, Public Administration and Planning of the National Assembly.
Nampala stressed that the Chamber is prioritising small businesses in its reform agenda. “We are working toward the same goal. Let us work together. The Chamber is here to amplify the voice of every Namibian business, big or small and to ensure that our policy environment reflects the realities on the ground,” he said.
He added that the Chamber’s renewed mission is to deepen trust across sectors. “Our mission is clear. We are enhancing brand credibility and deepening trust across business, government and civil society. The Chamber must be seen not only as a convener but as a catalyst for inclusive economic transformation,” Nampala said.
He also underscored the importance of collaboration through public–private partnerships. “We are not adversaries. We are allies. The Chamber stands ready to support and build. Together, we can shape a future where policy, investment, and innovation work hand in hand,” he said.
