Brazil Boosts Namibia’s Food Security with N$1.97 Million Contribution
The Government of Brazil has reaffirmed its commitment to strengthening food security and sustainable agriculture in Namibia by contributing USD 120,000
The Government of Brazil has reaffirmed its commitment to strengthening food security and sustainable agriculture in Namibia by contributing USD 120,000 (approximately N$1.97 million) to the United Nations World Food Programme (WFP).
The funding, announced during a handover ceremony on 16 July 2026, will support community-based agricultural projects aimed at improving food security, nutrition and resilient food systems in five regions, benefiting more than 1,000 people.
The initiative focuses on the Otjozondjupa, Omaheke, Hardap, Kunene and Ohangwena regions, where community production hubs established at schools and health centres combine horticulture and poultry farming. These hubs supply fresh vegetables and eggs to school feeding programmes, soup kitchens serving pregnant and breastfeeding women, and vulnerable households.
The programme is rooted in South-South cooperation, with Brazil sharing practical expertise to help communities move from dependence on food aid to sustainable agricultural production and self-reliance.
