Enhancing the rights of the African child in the digital realm necessitates accessible and affordable internet connectivity as well as information and communication technology devices.

However, the Executive Director in the Ministry of Education, Arts, and Culture, Sanet Steenkamp, says this advancement also exposes children to the potential violation of their rights, particularly the risk of online sexual exploitation.

Namibia has failed to meet several targets outlined in the Comprehensive African Agriculture Development Project.

The country scored a low rating of 4 out of 10, falling below the benchmark of 7.29 set in the Malabo Declaration, which was supposed to be achieved by 2025.

Namibia acceded to the Maputo Declaration on Agriculture and Food Security in Africa and committed to allocate at least 10 percent of its national budget to the agricultural sector to achieve six percent annual growth and attain food security.

Namibia, in collaboration with the World Feeding Program, celebrated African School Feeding Day on March 1st.

The Ministry of Education, Art, and Culture allocated N$89 million in this year's budget, which is currently being debated in the National Assembly, towards the School Feeding Program.

The allocation, the ministry said in a statement, is to buy maize blend for about N$500 million worth of children in 1,500 schools countrywide.

The program is primarily aimed at providing food to vulnerable learners and those from food-insecure households.
