In an effort to improve the lives of Okahandja residents, the town's municipality has launched a five-year strategic plan.

The strategic plan aims to provide basic and affordable service to residents, and accelerate land and housing delivery as well as water provision to the residents. 

The plan includes granting 5,000 families security of tenure, while 705 families will receive erven.

In addition, it will also bring infrastructure and institutional development.

Launching the strategic plan, the Deputy Minister of Urban and Rural Development indicated that the plan will provide better and more affordable services.

Ozjondjupa Governor James Uerikua urged the councillors to work together to better the livelihood of Okahandja residents.

Uerikua says that the strategic plan should not only remain a document but should also be implemented.
