The Government of Namibia provides a significant proportion of funding to subsidize the PSEMAS for public servants. As part of efforts to ensure value for money, the Government is pursuing reforms to the scheme. A technical committee was set up early in 2021 to oversee analytical work to inform interventions to improve the effectiveness and efficiency of the scheme. This committee comprised of public and private sector officials is assessing and proposing reforms to PSEMA on optimal restructuring, achieving internal cost savings, and alternative modes of service provision. The outcomes of the assessment are expected to be out next year.
