Namibia Faces Serious Challenges With Youth Unemployment

Nigeria is not the only country struggling with the challenge of unemployment amongst youths as the Permanent secretary of Youth Ministry in Namibia, Emma Kantema-Gaomas has revealed that  insufficient resources and poor infrastructure are some of the challenges facing Namibia in alleviating youth unemployment.

Although Gaomas said the ministry had put in place strategic plans to combat the scourge of unemployment, using sport development over regional levels across the country as one method she added that youth empowerment is another strategic plan the ministry would deploy to tackle unemployment, which currently stands at 34 per cent among youth.

Kantema-Gaomas said an increase in government funding and providing equipment for the country’s youth training centrrs will also help combat youth unemployment.

However, she cited a lack of investment in sport and limited sport subjects in school curricula as some of the challenges the ministry and country as a whole faced.
