Governor of Kavango West Region Sirkka Ausiku has expressed her appreciation for institutions of higher learning set up in the region.
 
This was shared during the celebration of 2024 African Decentralisation, Local Governance, and Local Development Day at Nkurenkuru.

About 70% to 80% of ministries have decentralised their functions to the regions since the adoption of the Decentralisation Policy in 1997.

This is according to the Ministry of Urban and Rural Development officials, who have called on those lagging behind to improve.

The Ministry of Urban and Rural Development held its fourth decentralisation consultative forum with key stakeholders in the capital today.

Minister, Erastus Uutoni, reminded the stakeholders that bringing services closer to the grassroots level remains one of the of government's top priorities.

The lack of decentralisation of the Anti-Corruption Commission's functions to all fourteen regions makes it difficult for the commission to root out corruption.

Acting Head of Investigations at ACC, Justine Kanyangela, said this during the inauguration of the Khomas Anti-Corruption Regional Forum.
