NRWA members are proud to be participating in the Feminist Climate Change and Agroecology School in Windhoek, which brings together 26 participants—two from each of Namibia’s 13 regions.



Today’s sessions were especially impactful, as members engaged with expert presenters on critical issues affecting rural women in agriculture and climate resilience.
Key topics included:
- Gender Equality, Women’s Empowerment, and Climate Change – facilitated by Lucy Edwards-Jauch
- Women’s Land Rights and Ownership – presented by Salvia Shikulo, Chief Development Planner, Directorate of Land Reform, Division of Land Boards, Tenure and Advice
- Women’s Financial Inclusion and Access to Credit – led by Kamau Nandova from Agribank
- Women’s Participation in Leadership and Decision-Making – presented by Ivonne Kaetjavi-Ngaruka, Agricultural Scientific Officer, Windhoek Agriculture Office
This rich and engaging dialogue is helping to shape a more inclusive, just, and sustainable agricultural future for all.
