About JCC
The Joint Consultative Council (JCC) is a network of service providers to micro, small and medium enterprises (SME) in Namibia. It started in 1995 as an informal forum for policy development and the exchange of ideas and practices in service provision. In 2000, it was incorporated as a Section 21 company to render support to policy makers and service providers. Over the years, JCC has become synonymous with support to the SME sector and has promoted it in multiple ways through policy advice and advocacy, studies, capacity building of service providers, recognition of innovation and SME business success and increasing SME access to business advice and services.
