The Ministry of Finance and Public Enterprises has allocated an additional N$698.8 million for drought relief provisions under the Office of the Prime Minister, primarily to extend the food distribution program to eligible communities.

About N$41,8 million has been spent as compensation for human-wildlife conflict-related issues since 2009.

This is contained in a report presented by the Ministry of Environment, Forestry, and Tourism at the just-ended National Human-Wildlife Conflict (HWC) in Windhoek.
