Green Enterprise Solutions has partnered with the ministry of justice to launch a transformative Data-Capturing and Cleansing Programme. This programme aims to ensure the smooth and seamless transition of the Master of the High Court from the legacy system to the newly-developed trust system, as the ministry prepares to decommission the present legacy system.
In a statement, Green noted that while still functional, the legacy system has limitations that could potentially put the country at risk of becoming a haven for illicit finance, with severe repercussions such as blacklisting.
“There is a pressing need for Namibia to upgrade to a robust trust system, which is essential for financial transparency and integrity. Countries across the world are working with financial regulators to address strategic deficiencies in their anti-money laundering (AML) systems. Deficiencies can lead to serious consequences for a country, affecting everything from international aid to banking relationships and trade. something Namibia is keen to avoid,” Green Enterprise Solutions stated.
As part of this initiative, 20 university students and graduates are gaining hands-on experience in data-capturing and playing a vital role in manually transferring essential data. Green stated their contributions will be the foundation of the new system, ensuring a seamless transition, improving operational efficiency, strengthening financial transparency and integrity.
“This will go a long way to preserving the reputation of Namibia in the international trading market,” Green stated.
The three-month programme, which began in early March and runs until May 2025, focuses on transitioning the ministry’s outdated records system to an updated platform. Interns are tasked with manually extracting, verifying, and migrating data while receiving specialised training to ensure accuracy, security, and efficiency.
To equip participants with the necessary skills, Green conducted an intensive orientation during the first week, covering data-handling, system integration and problem-solving. The internship serves as a bridge between academic learning and real-world application, fostering teamwork, professionalism and attention to detail.
“We are excited to begin transferring data into the new system, allowing the Ministry of Justice to fully reap the benefits of this investment,” said Bro-Matthew Niikondo, head of project management at Green.
The programme is hosted at the justice ministry’s headquarters, where interns work alongside Green’s technical team and ministry staff to facilitate the migration process. Through this initiative, Green continues to invest in youth empowerment and reinforce its leadership in Namibia’s digital transformation.
