EMPRETEC Namibia Programme

EMPRETEC Namibia is a collaboration between the Government of Namibia and the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP). This initiative aims to unlock the growth potential of Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) in Namibia. By offering competency-based training and a full suite of business advisory services, the program helps entrepreneurs transform their mindsets and develop the skills needed for success.

Launched on October 16, 2019, EMPRETEC Namibia operates under the global framework of the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD).

The primary goal of the EMPRETEC Namibia Programme is to facilitate transformational change within MSMEs by focusing on entrepreneurial behaviour, skill development, and comprehensive business advisory services. Our immediate objectives are to:

• Increase Awareness and Skills: Enhance entrepreneurial skills and develop an effective system for delivering business advisory services throughout the country.
• Boost Competitiveness: Improve the operational efficiency and competitiveness of MSMEs and help companies diversify into new product areas.
• Facilitate Financing: Assist businesses in creating “bankable” project plans for new ventures or expansions and help them negotiate for financing.
