President Netumbo Nandi-Ndaitwah has appointed six additional members to the Presidential Task Forces, expanding the teams established to address economic recovery constraints, health system pressures, and Namibia’s land and housing backlog.
The latest appointments build on the initial 51 members named earlier for the three national task forces. The Presidency said the additions are intended to strengthen the task forces’ capacity to drive focused interventions, improve coordination and accelerate implementation across key national priorities in line with government’s development agenda.
Under the Economic Recovery Task Force, Emilia Uupindi Mutenda and Tudiminapo Shindume have been appointed to reinforce strategic and technical capacity aimed at supporting economic recovery.
For the Health Task Force, President Nandi-Ndaitwah appointed Dr Mirjam Matheus and Norman Nanuseb to bolster policy oversight and improve service delivery within the health sector.
In the Land and Housing Task Force, Natasha Mbai and Pomwene Esther Shakela have been appointed to strengthen delivery on land and housing development and enhance coordination between institutions.
The President said the task forces will play a central role in shaping policies that strengthen health systems, support economic resilience and guide the delivery of land and housing programmes.
She added that the work of the task forces will have long-term implications for the country and future generations, and must be driven by unity, shared responsibility and a commitment to creating opportunities for all Namibians.
