The Bank of Namibia, together with leading financial institutions, regulators and industry associations, launched the Namibia Sustainable Finance Alliance (NSFA) at its inaugural meeting held on Tuesday, 30 September 2025. The Alliance marks a historic step in bringing together Namibia’s financial sector around the shared goal of advancing sustainability, strengthening climate resilience and fostering inclusive growth.

The launch was marked by a strong call to collective action from the leadership of financial institutions from the banking and non-banking financial sectors. Speaking at the event, the Deputy Governor of the Bank of Namibia, Mr. Ebson Uanguta, the chairperson of the Alliance, stated: “The Namibia Sustainable Finance Alliance represents a clear demonstration of the collective resolve of our institutions to address one of the most defining challenges of our time: embedding sustainability and climate resilience into the financial system.”

The NSFA is a voluntary, multi-stakeholder platform through which regulators, financial institutions, industry associations and Government agencies will coordinate efforts to mainstream and champion sustainable finance. Its objectives include:

Promoting sustainable finance across Namibia’s financial system.
Facilitating knowledge sharing and capacity building.
Supporting Namibia’s climate adaptation and resilience goals.
