Namibia - Agricultural Mechanisation and Seed Improvement Project (NAMSIP)

About this project

The Namibia Agricultural Mechanisation and Seed Improvement Project’s (NAMSIP) is a stand-alone investment Project aimed at improving cereal-crops/grains and livestock value chains. It has been designed in line with MAWF’s Harambee Comprehensively Coordinated and Integrated Agricultural Development Programme (HACCIADEP: 2017). The HACCIADEP aims at stimulating high quality production and market access for crops and livestock products especially from small and medium scale farmers and agro-processors. NAMSIP will contribute to the attainment of HACCIADEP’s 2 schemes, namely (i) agricultural mechanization scheme, and (ii) seed systems development scheme, which are key for sustainable crop and livestock value chain improvement. The present project will enhance dryland crop production, irrigated crop production, State Owned Enterprises (SOEs), and Private Sector operations through effective utilisation of agricultural machinery and equipment for livestock production, and processing which can be used as launch pads for SME driven industrialization. It has 2 components, namely: (a) Value Chain Improvement; and (b) Institutional Support. The project will be implemented nationwide by the Ministry of Agriculture, Water and Forestry (MAWF) over a period of 5 years. The total cost is ZAR 1.42 billion.
