Despite these obstacles, he expressed optimism about implementing effective reforms to enhance accountability and streamlining procurement processes.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOur performance is average, I should state. I understand the reason why it\u2019s average. For the last year-and-a-half, this position I am occupying now was not occupied. There could be other factors yes, staff turnover, funds not coming at the right time, and the bureaucracy around procurement. So, these are some of the factors which are really pointing to the reasons why we underperformed. But then, going forward, we are changing our way of doing things. There is a new trajectory which we are going to employ to ensure that every activity we have planned, is actually executed,\u201d Ntelamo emphasised.<\/p>\n<p>The unveiling of the Erongo Regional Council\u2019s development blueprint signals a renewed commitment to addressing socio-economic disparities, and accelerating progress towards inclusive growth and development in the region.<\/p>\n<p>With a focus on pro-poor initiatives and data-driven decision-making, the council aims to foster sustainable development and improve the well-being of all citizens in Erongo.<\/p>\n<p>* Linekela Halwoodi is an information officer for the MICT in Swakopmund, Erongo region.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/namibia\">Namibia<\/a> Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/\">Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Namibia.
