NAMIBIA BUDGET for the 2025/26 Financial Year:Financing the SDGs

The Budget Analysis for the 2025–2026 financial year has been prepared by the United Nations Joint Policy Analysis Team, offering a comprehensive examination of Namibia’s national budget allocations and strategic priorities through the lens of sustainable development. This analysis highlights the implications of fiscal decisions on the financing of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and the broader national development agenda. It explores trends in public expenditure, evaluates shifts in sectoral allocations, and assesses the alignment of fiscal policy with the commitments set out in the Sixth National Development Plan (NDP6) and Vision 2030. Furthermore, the analysis considers how the 2025–2026 budget may influence the United Nations’ programmatic engagement in Namibia and the collective efforts to accelerate progress towards the SDGs.
