The grants aim to support projects that strengthen vulnerable livelihoods, enhance climate change adaptation, promote the sustainable use and management of natural resources, and foster nature-based entrepreneurship.
“The approved grants comprise 12 start-up projects and14 existing projects, with beneficiaries actively engaged in their respective activities,” fund spokesperson Romeo Muyunda says.
He says of the approved grants, eight are youth-led projects, while 11 are female-led initiatives.
The fund has committed grant funding amounting to approximately N$5 million under the Institutional Grants Facility for the 2025/26 financial year.
“The final selection process will continue until the full allocation of N$5 million in available grant funding is reached, after which a final announcement of all beneficiaries will be made,” Muyunda says.
