Strengthening Legal Expertise for Effective Governance

With the support of the Konrad Adenauer Stiftung, the Ministry of Justice and Labour Relations will host a five-day, high-level, interactive, and practice-oriented in-house training workshop from 18 to 22 May 2026. The workshop will be facilitated by a legal expert with a background in constitutional law and will bring together 14 legislative drafters and 6 researchers from the Legislative Drafting and Law Reform, Policy, and Legislation Directorates. The training is designed to strengthen participants’ knowledge and practical skills in key areas, including administrative law, constitutional law, statutory and constitutional interpretation, and legal writing. Through a hands-on and collaborative approach, the workshop aims to enhance the quality and effectiveness of legislative processes within the Ministry. This initiative forms part of a broader series of interventions aimed at reinforcing the rule of law in Namibia. By building internal capacity and promoting sustainable management and operational practices, the programme contributes to improving service delivery to the public and strengthening engagement with key stakeholders over the long term.
