Bernadus Hargeib on Office of the Prime Minister ending drought relief programme
September 15, 2025
We turn our focus to the Office of the Prime Minister – the office tasked with mitigating drought relief efforts, which recently has announced the end of the drought relief programme. This is part of the ongoing efforts to strengthen Namibia social safety nets while avoiding too much dependency on government by the citizen – a move that if effectively implemented can lessen the financial burden significantly.
Tto unpack what the OPM’S move means for those who depend on it, we are joined by seasoned Development Practitioner Bernadus Hargeib.
