The Kavango West Region has requested four additional constituencies to improve service delivery.

The proposal was handed to the Boundaries Delimitation and Demarcation Commission at Nkurenkuru during public consultation.

The Kavango West Region was established during the 4th Boundaries Delimitation and Demarcation Commission in 2013, with Nkurenkuru being its capital and only local authority. 

Kavango West is 92% rural, with only 8% of its population residing in urban areas. 

At least 24 low-income earners at Nkurenkuru's Kakuro location in Kavango West Region received houses built under the Shack Dwellers Federation (SDFN).

The project began on December 1, 2021.

About 50 plots were allocated to the Shack Dwellers Federation in December 2021 by the Minister of Urban and Rural Development, Erastus Uutoni.

The houses are valued at close to N$42,000.

Of those 50 plots, 24 have so far been completed, with the remainder set for completion by the end of the year.
