President Hage Geingob says today Africans, including those in the Diaspora, are to celebrate the achievements of the African Union as an enduring continental body.
President Hage Geingob noted that the African continent and its people face a number of challenges, which would require collective efforts to achieve the dream of Agenda 2063 of the Africa We Want.
Namibia has welcomed and endorsed the Peace and Security Report, presented during the 36th ordinary session of the AU Assembly.
The report of the AU Peace and Security Council further recommended the promotion of national ownership and leadership of the flagship project of silencing the guns within the context of Agenda 2063.
This calls for AU member states to domesticate and implements the AU Master Roadmap in its five key dimensions: political, social, economic, environmental, and legal aspects.
President Hage Geingob has urged African youth to actively participate in the continental Agenda 2063 developmental aspirations.
Dr Geingob virtually addressed youth delegates at the Youth Connekt Africa summit underway in the Rwandan capital of Kigali.
Namibia became the 28th member of the Youth Connekt Africa in May this year, a platform which seeks to provide solutions and support the implementation of south-south initiatives to empower youth.
Africa cannot realise its Agenda 2063 and SDGs if the issues of water sanitation and security are not addressed.
The African Union Commission (AUC) Director of Sustainable Environment and Blue Economy (SEBE) expressed these sentiments at the 13th Ordinary Session of Exco of the African Ministers' Council on Water (AMCOW) in Windhoek today.
Harsen Nyambe stressed that water is at the centre of all sectors, hence it is important to ensure that issues of water security and sanitation are addressed.
