The Fifth National Development Plan (NDP5) has been extended for another two years.

The Director General of the National Planning Commission (NPC) Obeth Kandjoze made the announcement at a media briefing in Windhoek. 

NDP5 is a five-year development framework document, launched in 2017 and originally expected to end in 2022. 

The document's formulation was widely consulted on, and it sets targets for a range of industries, towards transforming Namibia's economy.

Execution of NDP5 has now been extended for two more years, as resolved by the Cabinet.
