Farmers benefit as Okongo auction kraal opens

The Ndevahoma Auction Kraal in the Ohangwena region is now operational following its launch and handover to Omauni Wood Carpentry Enterprise late last month.

Located at Okongo, the kraal was built with funding from the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) and the Global Environment Facility through the Namibia Integrated Landscape Approach for Enhancing Livelihoods and Environmental Governance to Eradicate Poverty (Nilaleg) project, which is being implemented by the Ministry of Environment and Tourism.

Environment minister Indileni Daniel says the development underscores the government’s intentions to create jobs, strengthen local enterprises, improve household incomes and empower rural communities.
