Vision 2030’s overall goal is that Namibia becomes a developed country. This should be realised through economic transformation and industrialisation. This ambition is central to NDP5. In a competitive world, the Namibian economy has to be high performing, competitive and productive. During NDP5, priority attention should be given to address energy and water shortages as these are vital inputs in the production process. Omu Kakujaha, a senior economics lecturer at the University of Namibia, says that economic transformation in the Namibian context means bringing those who were previously excluded by the apartheid system into the mainstream economy.

The Roads Authority (RA) is a non-profit making public entity which was established in the year 2000 by virtue of the Roads Authority Act 17 of 1999 with the sole mandate to manage Namibia’s national road network with a view to achieve a safe and efficient road sector.  The RA aligns its Strategic Plan, Key performance indicators (KPI) and Road Master Plan with the National Development Plan (NDP5) and Harambee Prosperity Plan, that confines to Namibia’s Vision 2030. It is through that alignment that RA ensures that projects and programmes are implemented according to national priority. The RA endeavors to strive to extend Namibia’s road network to all corners of the country by constructing safe and efficient roads.
