Objectives and Audiences

Event Objectives

The Economic Association of Namibia (EAN), Namibia Investment Promotion and Development Board (NIPDB) and the Hanns Seidel Foundation (HSF) in strategic partnership with the National Petroleum Corporation of Namibia (NAMCOR) bring together key role-players in Namibia’s oil and gas ecosystem, civil society and the general public to exchange views on the potential, opportunities and risks of establishing an oil and gas industry in the country.

The event discusses a broad spectrum of issues around investment opportunities, legal requirements, value chains, financing, and job creation in the emerging oil and gas sector.

DOWNLOAD PROGRAMME

The Namibia Oil and Gas Conference has a strong focus on proposing ideas and strategies that will ensure that investments in the sector will not create an enclave around oil and gas production sites, but that investment will lead to the development of an integrated industrial base with backward and forward linkages to the rest of the economy, thus creating sustainable jobs and contributing to the social welfare of Namibia’s people

The Namibia Oil and Gas Conference annually attracts over 1000 participants from the following sectors:

	Policy Makers
	The Private Sector
	Parliamentarians

	Academics
	Civil Society
	Public

Expected Outcomes

			That key insights around the potential, challenges, and risks of developing an oil economy are disseminated and thoroughly debated
			That key stakeholders provide input on a wide spectrum of themes and that their input is included in the conference outcomes
			That key resolutions from the conference form part of the strategic roadmap for both the public and private sectors on how the country can best benefit from investments in oil and gas
