Namibia's parliamentary economy committee identified an urgent requirement for expanded market spaces, light industrial workshops, and sanitation amenities in Windhoek. This assessment followed inspections on Monday of small business sites and informal vendor areas across downtown streets, Havana, Katutura Central, Okuryangava, and Single Quarters.
Committee chairperson Iipumbu Shiimi acknowledged Windhoek officials have made progress supporting entrepreneurs but stressed additional improvements remain necessary. He emphasized the essential need for upgraded sanitation at trading zones alongside dedicated workshop areas for artisans and manufacturers. The committee will compile findings into formal recommendations for the National Assembly addressing these infrastructure gaps.
City administrators participated in discussions about current support systems for small and medium enterprises. The review focused specifically on practical assistance available to informal traders operating within municipal boundaries. Final proposals aim to enhance economic opportunities through better physical resources and services throughout the capital region.
