The Namibia Fish Consumption Promotion Trust (NFCPT) has embarked on an innovative strategy to enhance fish distribution across the country. 

The trust has signed contracts with 13 small and medium enterprises to facilitate the distribution of fish to consumers at affordable prices.

The 13 SMEs, selected from a pool of trained entrepreneurs, are part of a 6-month Distribution Agency Pilot Project. 

This project marks a shift in the trust's approach, aiming to collaborate with stakeholders in the fish distribution sector rather than competing with them.

Connect Africa, a mobile and web application designed to empower individuals with disabilities, has been well received.

The 4x4 Initiative engaged boys between the ages of 12 and 21 about their role in society, aiming to educate them on values, encourage them to speak up, manage conflict, and gain communication skills.

The initiative seeks to nurture boys into responsible men, with the founder, Sidney Boois, stating that it aims to uplift the spirit of ubuntu amongst men and reduce gender-based violence in the country.

Life skills teacher Pedro Kapirika says society has been so focused on uplifting the girl child that the boy child is left feeling neglected.

The teacher from Jacob Marengo visited Rundu in an effort to uplift some boys.

There was a time when the focus was solely on men.

This led to women and girl empowerment initiatives all over, but the end result is that the boychild is now feeling left out, says Kapirika.

The Namibia Film Commission is conducting its first ever screen and film production workshop in the Kavango East Region.

The attendees had the opportunity to interact with accomplished speakers who shared their personal journeys and insights in various STEM disciplines.

Young people in the Kavango East Region have taken the initiative to start a dialogue with the goal of establishing a platform for youth empowerment.

This dialogue, known as the Influential Youth Summit, aims to inspire, motivate, and foster the sharing of ideas on how to address the issues that impact them.

The one-day summit held in Rundu successfully brought together young individuals who have entered the labour market or ventured into business.
