The low rainfall experienced across the country has resulted in poor harvests and severe water shortages.

The Office of the Prime Minister is holding a two-day national platform to discuss the implementation of the 2024/2025 drought relief programme.

To date, 56,875 kilogrammes of game meat have been distributed by the government in support of the drought relief programme.

The game meat is from 157 animals of different species that were hunted in the Mangetti, Mahango, Kwando, Buffalo, and Mudumo national parks. 

Swanu of Namibia's Party President Dr. Tangeni Iijambo tabled a motion to discuss the enforcement of the drought relief programme by training specialists whose activities are related to the environment.
