President commends One Economy Foundation for youth empowerment efforts

President Netumbo Nandi-Ndaitwah has commended the One Economy Foundation, founded by Monica Geingos, for its contribution to youth empowerment in Namibia and urged individuals, institutions and organisations to support the Foundation’s efforts.

“It is a well-known fact that youth empowerment and development are key priorities of the Namibian Government, as articulated in NDP6. Therefore, youth development is very close to my heart. Accordingly, any initiatives that focus on building capacity and skills for our youth are very much welcome. One Economy Foundation programmes are among the many in the country that complement the Government’s efforts to help young people realise their potential and unlock their capabilities for the betterment of all, as the Government cannot do it alone. Empowering the youth is the best investment a nation can make to enable the next generation to drive sustainable growth and development in our country,” the President said.
