DIDESS

Project Overview

The Statistics Sub-division under the Directorate of Industrial Development (DID) is mandated to develop and maintain an up to date, user-friendly and comprehensive Industrial Statistics’ Database.

The mission of the sub-division is to collect, analyse, interpret and provide sound and timely industrial statistics for evidence-based economic and industrial decision-making, and to satisfy the expectations of Stakeholders under the Growth at Home strategy

The core functions of DID are

To continuously collect, analyses, interpret and provide sound and timely industrial statistics for evidence-based economic and industrial decision making.

To coordinate the initial stage of manufacturing incentives applications and conduct manufacturing site(s) inspection as necessitated under the Manufacturing Incentives Scheme.

Liaise with other sub-divisions within DID and directorates within the Ministry (MITSMED) as well as with other statistics bodies, partners/stakeholders and other institutions to obtain the necessary statistics

To conduct regular surveys and/or census on industrial/manufacturing activities in Namibia

To develop and maintain an up-to-date, user-friendly and comprehensive Industrial Statistics’ Database.

To produce useful industrial/manufacturing publications.

To express complex statistical information into user-friendly terms.

There are a total of eight (8) programmers set out in the DID

The Problem Area/ Why this Application was Developed

The earlier data for the DID programmes was processed manually, and with reporting based on input data, some issues were experienced with the reporting processes. bSome of the issues experienced include

  • Duplication of data entries
  • Inconsistent data entries
  • Inefficient reporting
  • Cumbersome processing of applicants for incentives

The Statistics Sub-division previously entered data into two (2) existent databases for two of the DID programmes. These were Equipment Aid Scheme and Business Support Services Programme. The same was not apply for the remaining six DID programmes (SME Certification, Special Incentives for Manufactures and Exporters, Rental Support, Sites and Premises, Ozone Programme, and lastly the Industrial Upgrading and Modernization Programme). Thus, it was a difficult exercise for the sub-division to maintain up to date data, as well generating reports on the programmes.

why this application was developed

Objectives

Objectives

To have a web based interface that allows users to register for schemes

To analyse the existing databases under DID in order to consolidate these into one single database, adequately test and ultimately actualize an application that will assist users to access, analyseprocess, and convert data into useful information using various search, sort, filter, and rank queries.

Design a system that will allow different users to have multiple views and perform various functions using the data in the depending. Processing functionality will be based upon the roles of users i.e. admin, data clerk

To streamline the process of reporting to various recipients (execution staff, management staff and for the applicants).

Design and develop the system to serve as a planning, monitoring, and evaluation system other than just being an information source; the system must be able to track changes and/or performance of the economic variables as specified for each Programme

To develop the system in such a way that the system provides administrative logs tracking on the various data entry and modification done.

The Scope of work

The system allows MITSMED staff to perform the following functions

  • Search for company existence within MITSMED (use company registration number, company name, or owner ID as example)
  • Search if company applied for incentives previously (DID Programmes)
  • Indicate the progress for incentive phase applied for (if applicable)
  • Apply for incentive (pre-defined list of programmes)
  • Re-activate application (if previously applied for)
  • Cancel application
  • Mark an application (pass or failed) and route this to the appropriate DID Programme
  • If the company does not appear to be registered with the Ministry, it should not be able to process further as applicant. The company would have to complete registration as a pre-requisite. If the company does exist, and has previously applied for incentives it should be possible to create a new incentive application or activate an inactive application that has been processed previously.
  • The system must provide a defined list for selecting the applicant’s incentive. It must allow users to selectmore than one incentive for the applicant.

Programs running under DID

There are eight programs running under DID. MITSMED staff from the Programmes have to perform a search on a company that is applying for any of the incentives available under the programmes.

Sub menu

Every program has different sub menus to proceed further for application process. From submenu Admin can see numbers of application under particular process.

Global Application list

From this global application list admin can see the list of total application and can update itas well. Admin can also overview the applicant details.

Company Registered in BIPA

To apply for the programs company must be registered in BIPA. If company is registered thanuser need to select company from dropdown. If does not in BIPA, it must need to register

New application to the programme

Admin will fill the data capture form to apply and can proceed further to the next levelprocedure like application review, technical assessment, Approval and M & E .

company registered in BIPA
application review

Application review

Application review will be on the base of data captured from the applicant. Application review will be done in three stages i.e. Document review, Eligibility review, Recommendation

Technical Assessment

When the application will be reviewed the next step is technical assessment. Technical assessment will done in eight steps. After technical assessment application status will be confirm
