NIPAM KICKSTARTS ITS YEAR 2020 WITH AN INDUCTION AND OPERATIONAL PLANNING REVIEW WORKSHOP FOR BOARD MEMBERS
The
Namibia Institute of Public Administration and Management has embarked on the
orientation and training of its Board of Directors and operational planning
review workshop from the 30th to the 31st of January
2020.
These
two events have been held during the most significant time as the institute has
changed most of its board members.
Chairperson
of NIPAM’s Governing Council, Dr George Simataa said the workshop is
meant to review NIPAM’s Strategic plan in order to understand where we have
previously gone wrong in the implementation, as well as finding smart
alternative ways of achieving our mandate during the economic hardship the
country is facing.
While the business plan 2020/21 reflects on the
previous financial year key performances and lessons learnt, it is also an
outcome of in-depth analysis, research and discovery of key areas of focus
during the Financial Year 2020/21.
Our strategic priorities
NIPAM has identified four key priority areas to be
attended to during thE financial year 2020/21;
- People, Culture and Performance,
- Financial Sustainability,
- Policies, Business Processes & Systems Architecture and
- Relevance
Revenue generation to ensure financial stability will become our top priority for the financial year 2020/21. NIPAM needs to self-reliantly generate more revenues as the government grants are constantly diminishing. This will be complemented by sound financial and management controls that guarantee financial sustainability.
NIPAM will work towards achieving a fully qualified, competent and motivated human talent. To achieve this, a robust investment of effort will be redirected to, NIPAM’s corporate culture building, organisational performance as well as good governance.
Moreover, NIPAM must continue to strive to remain relevant to the needs of the market and its customers which is a vehicle to attain competitive advantage. We are strategically positioning NIPAM as a think-tank and expert of choice in the public service while ensuring that our training programmes are a perfect fit for the needs of our customer.
