With spiking new Covid-19 cases and deaths, the pandemic has added extra pressure to a nation already reeling.
“The world has seen many crises over the past 30 years, including the Global Financial Crisis of 2007-09. Each has hit human development hard but, overall, development gains accrued globally year-on-year. Covid-19, with its triple hit to health, education, and income, may change this trend.” Covid-19 is no longer just a threat to human lives it now presents itself as a hurdle in the fulfilment of the 2030 Agenda and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs),” says the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) administrator Achim Steiner.

The Namibian Ports Authority, Namport, recently hosted a media day at the Port of Walvis Bay. Invited members of the media could engage with Mr Andrew Kanime, Chief Executive Officer, on his 150 days at the helm of the Namport ship. The main aim of the engagement was to share the latest developments within Namport, their vision as a business and the plans for the business going forward.
During his address, Mr Kanime highlighted his engagements with various clients and key stakeholders, internal and the trade union. “The purpose of these engagements was really to understand key achievements and challenges as well as what is happening on the ground so that we can collectively put into place measures that will enable us to take Nam-port to the next level”, Mr Kanime explained.
The Namibian Ports Authority allocated a notable 2.8 million Namibian Dollars to its social investment fund for projects aimed at bettering the lives of the Namibian nation during its 2020/21 financial year.
The Namport Social Investment Fund (NSIF) is an investment arm of Namport through which the Ports Authority reaches the Namibian community by investing in worthwhile community projects such as the building of educational infrastructure, health infrastructure, medical equipment and other social needs that fall within the sponsorship mandate of NSIF. The latest benefactor of the social fund was the Five Rand Primary School in the Otjozondjupa region. The fund yesterday donated two classrooms with a price tag of N$ 300,000.00 to the school.
