Namibia's public procurement system faces significant challenges, primarily due to a lack of accurate data.

Lead iOS Developer at Green Enterprise Solutions, Audrey Chanakira, says data has become a critical raw material for producing digital products and services.

She says Namibia is at a disadvantage because the country does not have its own local systems to protect its data.

The general lack of any comprehensive database or profile of Namibians in the Diaspora makes it difficult to ascertain their living conditions and well-being.
