The Omaheke Region has registered 11 new cases of malnutrition and one death during the months of July and August, while 45 children under the age of five died from malnutrition-related conditions in the region this year.
The new statistics were shared during a courtesy visit to the region by Deputy Prime Minister Netumbo Nandi Ndaitwah.
According to Zambezi Governor Alufea Sampofu, not many security threats have been experienced along Namibia's borders in the region since last month, although stock theft is increasing from Namibia to Zambia.
The issue of illegal fishing on Lake Lyambezi is also escalating, and Sampofu says the region's residents are the culprits who employ foreigners to fish for them.
Democracy, Peace and Security are important elements for economic development in any country.
These were the sentiments shared by the Namibia and European Union delegations at the Namibia - European Union Political Dialogue currently underway in Windhoek.
At the event, the Minister of International Relations and Cooperation, Netumbo Nandi-Ndaitwah noted that peace and sustainable development are a collective responsibility of both parties.
