Toward a Policy for Financial Sustainability Modelof Public Enterprises: A Case of Transnamib

This study investigates the financial sustainability of TransNamib, Namibia’s national rail service provider, by developing a comprehensive policy model aimed at enhancing the organization’s long-term viability. TransNamib has faced persistent financial challenges, including poor governance, outdated infrastructure, and a lack of technological innovation, which threaten its ability to remain operational without government support. Drawing on secondary data from financial reports spanning five years, this research analyzes the factors affecting TransNamib’s financial sustainability, focusing on governance practices, resource management, and the integration of digital technologies. The study applies various financial ratios and statistical methods to assess short-term and long-term performance, providing a detailed evaluation of the company's cash position, profitability, and sustainability. The findings underscore the importance of governance reforms, digital transformation, and revenue diversification in improving financial health. This research contributes to the understanding of how public enterprises in sub-Saharan Africa can achieve financial sustainability in a rapidly evolving global economy, offering practical recommendations for policy improvements.
