AGP Executive Report

Last update: 3 hours ago

Creative Funding Boost: Namibia’s Ministry of Education and Basecamp handed creatives a N$1.6m grant pool to back projects across craft, film, fashion, performing arts and music, with a push to turn support into jobs. South Africa–Namibia Diplomacy: Presidents Netumbo Nandi-Ndaitwah and Cyril Ramaphosa co-chaired the 4th Bi-National Commission in Pretoria, agreeing to deepen political, economic, social and cultural ties, including seven new cooperation deals. Oil-to-Local Business Focus: NOGC 2026 (18–20 August, Windhoek) will link petroleum investment to practical opportunities for Namibian workers and entrepreneurs through local content pitching. Sanitation Reality Check: Namibia is lagging on SDG 6, with about 40% of households lacking adequate sanitation and marginalised communities far worse off—prompting renewed urgency after sanitation was declared a state of emergency. Windhoek Cost-of-Living Pressure: City of Windhoek residents face a 4% municipal tariff increase, while activists argue higher charges should come with visible service improvements, especially in informal settlements. Space & Skills: Namibia and China launched a joint STAR.VISION AI satellite initiative aimed at building local training in satellite engineering and space science. Community & Culture: A new Dr. Eino Mvula Community Centre opened in Etambo to host education, women’s groups and safety awareness, while Mangetti Dune hosted a cultural festival celebrating song, dance and drama. Health & Safety: Nurses are seeking a salary scale upgrade, and the African Medicines Agency is partnering to tackle substandard and falsified medical products. Identity & Inclusion: Namibia’s marginalised communities profile reports 2.5% of the population are historically marginalised, with birth certificate access improving but gaps remaining in education, IDs and livelihoods. Visa/Travel Updates: The US will shift routine visa services for Namibians to South Africa from 1 August 2026, and Saint Kitts and Nevis published its 2026 visa requirements for African travellers.
