AGP Executive Report

Last update: 5 hours ago

Digital Health Rollout: Namibia’s Ministry of Health and Social Services is preparing to roll out the Digital Community System (DCS) in Swakopmund, moving community health workers from paper registers to mobile-based records so rural patients can be better supported before they reach clinics. Youth & Reproductive Health: Namibia marked World Population Day with a push for investment in young people’s health and futures, including teenage pregnancy prevention and the launch of UNFPA’s report on what shapes young adults’ decisions about relationships and parenthood. Food Security Focus: FAO reports 645 million people faced hunger in 2025, while Namibia’s undernourishment rate is estimated at 20.1% (2023–2025), underscoring the health costs of hunger and the need for faster action. Agri-food Investment Drive: Government met development partners in Windhoek to turn STAS policy into funded programmes, warning that delays could weaken food security, jobs, and resilience. Water & Public Health: NamWater is upgrading the ageing Kuiseb Collector 2–Schwarzekuppe–Swakopmund pipeline with final works costing about N$84 million to improve reliable, climate-resilient water delivery for coastal communities. Inclusion in ID Systems: Omaheke governor Pijoo Nganate urged inclusive rollout of chip-based e-IDs, stressing rural and marginalised groups need clear explanations before the September launch. Community Care & Disability Support: The Speaker toured the Cheshire Home Facility in Zambezi, highlighting outreach to children with disabilities and the challenge of undocumented children falling “through the cracks.”
