Omaruru Councillor Magano Gerbhardt has stated that social and economic development projects, including housing, education, and training for youth in farming activities, are beginning to take shape within the constituency.

The ||Kharas Youth Development Initiative has hosted a training to equip youth with essential life-saving skills.

Founder Mac Witbooi said the training aims to boost youth confidence and readiness for them to respond swiftly and effectively to community emergencies.

Eight unemployed youth have received media training through the Nyae Nyae Media Club in Tsumkwe.

The programme initially started with 15 young people in September 2022.

In the Kavango East Region, 160 young people are participating in a one-week business training programme held at the Frans Dimbare Youth Skills Training Centre in the Mukwe Constituency.

The training serves as a crucial stepping stone in the ongoing efforts to combat high youth unemployment.
