The Ministry of Youth, Sports and National Services in collaboration with UNICEF launched the UPSHIFT program in the Omaheke Region, aimed at providing skills and presenting opportunities for social entrepreneurship among young people.

The UPSHIFT project is expected to provide funding to 18 young people to come up with innovative ideas for starting any business.

Speaking at the launch Deputy Minister of Youth, Sports and National Service, Emma Kantema Gaomas, reminded the youth to come up with business proposals that speak to the needs of the community.

A journalist from Lesotho National Broadcasting Service (LNBS), Tieang Maraisane, spent two weeks at the Namibian Broadcasting Corporation (nbc) as part of a program aimed at equipping regional media practitioners with skills and expanding their knowledge in broadcast journalism.

The program is part of the Public Media Alliance project's initiatives and offers members an equal opportunity to exchange ideas, views, and best practices in public media.

Maraisane was one of eight journalists chosen to participate in the program this year.
