Namibia is at a crossroads. Economic growth has picked up, inflation has eased, and access to schooling has expanded, improving prospects for the future.
Yet progress has also brought rising expectations.
Young people want jobs and opportunities, education still needs to produce better learning outcomes.

Agricultural production has increased, yet land tenure insecurity remains a challenge for many farmers and rural communities.

The real question Namibia needs to ask is: How do we make every dollar deliver the greatest possible benefit?
IMPORTANT INITIATIVE
An important new initiative focused on southern Africa aims to tackle exactly that challenge.
