Namibia’s bid for US$250 million (about N$4 billion) in climate funding is raising urgent calls from ||Kharas leaders to ensure green hydrogen projects deliver real jobs and opportunities for local young people.
||Kharas Regional Council chairperson Gerrit Witbooi says the regional leadership wants to see developmental projects under the Climate Investment Fund (CIF) translating into tangible opportunities in employment, skills development, enterprise creation and visible improvement in people’s livelihoods.
Witbooi said this during a stakeholders consultation with the Namibia Green Hydrogen Programme at Lüderitz last Tuesday.
The event was aimed at gathering input on Namibia’s 2026 Climate Investment Fund Plan submission.
