A delegation from the Malawi Revenue Authority (MRA), led by the Chairman of its Finance and Audit Committee of the Board Arnold M’bwana, is in Namibia on a benchmarking visit at the Namibia Revenue Agency (NamRA). The visit focuses on learning from NamRA’s experience with organisational structure, governance frameworks and the operation of the Integrated Tax Administration System (ITAS).
Welcoming the delegation, NamRA Commissioner Sam SHIVUTE emphasised the importance of collaboration and mutual learning among revenue authorities in the region. SHIVUTE indicated that NamRA was honoured to host the MRA delegation, serving as an opportunity for continuous learning and improvement.
He added that NamRA had benefited greatly from the openness of its peers across Africa and Development partners.
On his part, M’bwana noted that MRA’s strategic plan implementation period was ending next year.
He stressed that with the new leadership in place, there was a need to shape the organisation’s direction for the next 25 years.
The MRA Commissioner General Daniel Daka, also forms part of the visiting team, alongside senior MRA management.
The benchmarking visit includes engagements with NamRA’s leadership and technical teams, focusing on strategy, institutional setup and technology systems used to deliver on NamRA’s mandate.
