Over 130 employees of the Ministry of Veteran Affairs on Thursday signed the performance agreements in order to improve their service delivery.

The Public Service of Namibia has introduced the Performance Management System (PMS) which requires all staff members to sign performance Agreements for the planned activities which are derived from the strategic plan each financial year.

Deputy Minister of Veteran Affairs Hilma Nicanor said the signing of agreements signifies acceptance of ownership thereof and that everyone is committed to the terms of the agreement.

“You must show the nation and in particular the Veterans that you can deliver to their expectation, that you can lead by example in the provision of quality service to our people as you are signing these performance agreements today. The aim is to strengthen our civil service and enforcing accountability, thereby ensuring more efficient and effective service delivery. Thus our slogan from today onwards should be 'Zero tolerance on a None Performance culture',” said the Deputy Minister.
