President Netumbo Nandi-Ndaitwah says education, skills training, and human capital remain central to Namibia's development agenda.

Namibia and Botswana are set to sign eight memoranda of understanding in key sectors aimed at advancing sustainable development between the two countries on Friday.

Although Namibia has made great strides in the fight against HIV and AIDS, the epidemic continues to rob the country of much-needed human capital and compromise socio-economic progress.

This is President Hage Geingob's message, as Namibia joins the commemoration of World AIDS Day.
