The National Assembly unveiled its strategic plan for 2023–2027, building upon the achievements of the previous strategic plan for 2018–2020.

The aim of the plan is to enhance the core pillars of the National Assembly, namely lawmaking, representing the people, oversight visits, and fiscal stewardship.

The Speaker of the National Assembly, Professor Peter Katjavivi, stated that the plan mirrors the inherent strategic plan design followed by all three organs of the Namibian State.

The plan is aligned with the National Assembly's development objectives, focusing on parliament's role in ensuring robust governance and accountability from the executive.

Katjavivi further stated that the National Assembly has made impressive strides towards embracing information and communication technology, further explaining that the introduction of the first phase of e-Parliament is a case in point.

"This technological leap has equipped each member of parliament within the Chamber with access to the e-Parliament system, facilitating the paperless and efficient conduct of parliamentary business. Of course, these things cannot be expected to be done overnight, and we cannot expect every member of parliament to be up-to-date and have the ability to function as smoothly as possible. People need to be properly introduced to the new system and given proper induction to be equipped and better prepared for what they have to do."

He further stated that the National Assembly has set up the Parliamentary Service Commission, which will improve the efficiency of lawmaking, oversight, and representation while simultaneously enhancing service delivery.

Furthermore, the assembly has taken a proactive approach by identifying potential risks and developing strategies to minimise both their likelihood and impact.

A distinctive aspect of the strategy is its implementation structure, led by the Speaker's bench.
