Windhoek, 31. March 2023

EU and NHAG/SDFN started a 3 years project this month to capacitate the marginalized urban poor towards inclusive, participatory, and sustainable urban development. All 14 regions of Namibia were represented by SDFN Facilitators and Second Tier Leaders to foster new leaders within the Federation, including women and youth.

We would like to give a special word of thanks to the EU Delegation in Namibia for its substantial financial support to NHAG/SDFN and the hands-on cooperation by our EU Project Manager Mr. Aron Hangula and its colleagues at the EU Delegation in Windhoek.

The purpose of this 2-days workshop was to kick-start our EU project and to capacitate the leaders of the Shack Dwellers Federation all over Namibia from the very beginning of the project about the activities planned with EU support: to strengthen the SDFN leadership by building a strong and inclusive second tier leadership, to negotiate for land and services for our house construction and informal settlement upgrading, to strategies about bottlenecks in our community-led processes and to start activities towards digitalization of savings and loan repayment. And these are just some of the activities of this EU-NHAG-SDFN project.
