The National Youth Development Fund (NYDF) has approved nine youth development projects in the ||Kharas Region, with funding amounting to N$1.93 million.

The figures were revealed by NYDF Project Manager Lucrecia Tsauses during an information session in Keetmanshoop.

The Minister of Gender Equality and Child Welfare, Emma Kantema, has highlighted that the registration of new beneficiaries or the Conditional Basic Income Grant remains dependent on the availability of funds.

Only one youth from the ||Kharas Region has secured funding from the National Youth Development Fund (NYDF) out of 13,809 applications nationwide.
