### Summary findings
- Infrastructure investment is a policy priority for Namibia to address critical gaps and support economic growth.
- A constrained fiscal environment in recent years has contributed to a decrease in public investment and capital stock.
- The Public Investment Management Assessment (PIMA) finds the strength of Namibia’s institutions is broadly in line with comparators, however there is scope for improvement.
- The rate of execution of the Development Budget is a persistent challenge.
- There are weaknesses in project preparation, appraisal, selection and budgeting.
- Namibia is at an early stage in incorporating climate-sensitivity into public investment management and has a clear opportunity to get this right.
- Priority recommendations relating to project preparation, appraisal and budgeting and mainstreaming climate change considerations into strategic planning offer potential to enhance the efficiency and sustainability of public investment management.

### Priority recommendations and policy implications
- Improve project preparation, appraisal, selection, and budgeting to raise the execution rate of the Development Budget.
- Mainstream climate change considerations into strategic planning and public investment management to enhance sustainability and climate-sensitivity.
- Strengthen institutional capacity where scope for improvement exists to align Namibia with comparator institutional strengths.
