MICT Advances Media Card Digitalisation Through Four-Day BPR Workshop

MICT Advances Media Card Digitalisation Through Four-Day BPR WWorkshop. The Ministry of Information and Communications Technology (MICT) has concluded a four-day Business Process Reengineering (BPR) project training workshop focused on the local media card application process.

The workshop was concluded on 3 September 2026 at the Namibia Institution of Public Administration and Management (NIPAM), bringing together subject matter experts from MICT and the Office of the Prime Minister (OPM).

The training was facilitated by the OPM as part of efforts to support the automation of the local media card application process. The initiative forms part of broader efforts aimed at advancing Namibia’s digital transformation agenda.

According to MICT, the workshop focused on the local media card application process and involved experts from both institutions working to drive its automation.

Business Process Reengineering involves reviewing and redesigning existing processes, and in this case, the training was linked specifically to the media card application process.

The initiative also forms part of efforts to further decentralise MICT’s core functions. The ministry did not provide further details on the specific functions to be decentralised or the implementation timeline for the automated media card application process.

The conclusion of the training workshop marks a step in the BPR project focused on transforming the way the local media card application process is handled.

The participation of subject matter experts from MICT and OPM provides an inter-institutional approach to the project, with the OPM facilitating the training and MICT involved through its relevant experts.

MICT’s latest workshop comes as the ministry continues efforts linked to Namibia’s wider digital transformation agenda. However, the information provided does not specify when the automated application process will become operational, how applicants will access the system, or whether the process will replace existing application procedures.
