The MVA Fund is a statutory body established to design, develop, promote and implement motor vehicle accident and injury prevention measures and provide benefits to all people using our roads in accordance with MVA Fund Act 10 of 2007.
The Act 10 of 2007 which was signed into law on the 21st of December 2007 by the President of the Republic of Namibia became operational through a notice by the Minister of Works, Transport and Communication on 2 May 2008.
The MVA Fund operates on a no fault based system where all people injured in motor vehicle accidents regardless of who caused the accident receive fair and reasonable benefits (subject to some limitations and exclusions) where payments are done in accordance with administrative law principles.
The Fund will also provide assistance to a person who suffers loss as a dependent of a person killed in a motor vehicle accident.
The MVA Fund may take reasonable steps to ensure that a motor vehicle accident is attended to without delay and that every person injured is conveyed to the nearest hospital or medical facility until they are stabilized.
