Two civil society organisations have joined forces to create a project to enhance youth participation in democratic processes.

The N$11 million-dollar project titled 'Strengthening Democratic Participation: Namibia Needs Me' is the collective brainchild of the Namibia Institute for Democracy (NID) and the Hanns Seidel Foundation.

The project is aimed at enhancing participation in democratic processes through civic education, targeting youth and those in secondary and tertiary learning institutions.
