What is the Sixth National Development Plan (NDP6)?
The Sixth National Development Plan (NDP6) is the final plan in the series aimed at achieving the aspirations of Vision 2030. It focuses on economic diversification, structural transformation, and a strategic shift from raw material exports to high‑value production and natural resource beneficiation, with a strong emphasis on youth empowerment. These efforts are anchored in the principles of good governance, transparency, and accountability.
NDP6 covers the period 2025/2026 to 2029/2030 and is designed to address three fundamental needs of Namibian society:
- Wealth Creation
- Improved Equality
- Employment Creation
The overarching theme of NDP6 is:
Fostering Economic Growth, Inclusiveness, and Resilience for Sustainable Development.

The Sixth National Development Plan is structured around four strategic pillars, each with clearly defined goals:
- Economic Growth, Transformation and Resilience
Achieve sustainable economic growth and shared prosperity for all Namibians. - Human Development and Community Resilience

Financing, Monitoring and Evaluation
The financing of NDP6 will be guided by an Integrated Financing Framework, drawing on a combination of conventional and non‑conventional sources of funding.
Monitoring and evaluation (M&E) will be conducted on a quarterly, biannual, and annual basis, with a primary focus on tracking inputs and outputs to ensure accountability, performance, and effective implementation.
