The University of Namibia (UNAM) is spearheading a Child Research Initiative and Training Conference that aims to promote evidence-based, multi-system child wellbeing approaches and establish a national research agenda on children.

Deputy Minister of Finance and Public Enterprises, Maureen Hinda-Mbuende, says the SADC integrated development agenda has been adversely affected by economic challenges, the recent global COVID-19 pandemic, and international geopolitics.

The National Assembly has managed to complete all items on its agenda on today's order paper, despite the absence of all opposition party members in the house.
