The Keetmanshoop Municipality has introduced the Performance Management System (PMS) to monitor and enhance the overall efficiency of its staff.

The PMS's objective is to facilitate increased accountability, learning, and improvement as well as decision-making.

Launching the implementation of the PMS, Mayor of Keetmanshoop Annalise Knaus said the system aligns with the Ministry of Urban and Rural Development 2021 directive in terms of Article 41 of the Namibian Constitution.

The municipality's top management was the first to sign the performance agreements to cement their commitment to the implementation of the five-year strategic plan and ensure its monitoring and evaluation.

"From this week going forward, the departmental scorecards will be further cascaded down to the operational staff to ensure total management and organisational and individual performance at the municipality of Keetmanshoop."
