During a cabinet briefing on Monday, the Deputy Minister of Fisheries and Marine Resources explained that the ministry's mandate is to sustainably manage aquatic resources and promote the aquaculture sector in Namibia.

Deputy Minister Silvia Makgone made these remarks at the Government Information Centre.

The aquaculture sector consists of two subsectors: freshwater aquaculture and marine aquaculture.

Micro, Small, and Medium-sized Enterprises (MSMEs) play a vital role in an economy, particularly in providing necessary goods, services, and employment opportunities for citizens.

On MSME Day, Danny Meyer, Director of SMEs Compete, addressed the importance of government officials being more supportive of the SME sector.

Meyer emphasizes that these smaller businesses are crucial for job security and national wealth. However, bureaucracy and a lack of communication between government departments and ministries often hinder their operations and prevent them from thriving.

Namibia is one of the countries that has made great improvements in public participation and transparency in its budget accountability process. This was revealed at Namibia's Open Budget Survey launch in Windhoek.

This is according to the 2023 Open Budget Survey Global Findings. 

Based on the survey's open budget index score, scaled from zero to 100, Namibia obtained a 54 in transparency in terms of how the public accesses information about how the government raises and spends public resources. 

This is compared to the 42 it scored in 2021.
