Agribank and GIZ suspend networking sessions

Following the recent announcement of new Covid-19 regulations by President Hage Geingob, Agribank has confirmed the suspension of the countrywide women and youth networking sessions with immediate effect. The current Covid regulations limit public gatherings to a maximum of 10 people to curb the increase in the infection rate. 

The Agribank in collaboration with Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) GmbH, through its agricultural project Farming for Resilience (F4R), partnered to embark on a countrywide series of networking sessions, targeting women and youth in agriculture, hosted under the theme “creating women and youth Agripreneurs”. 

The Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit GmbH committed funds towards this partnership and the objective of these networking sessions is to provide insight into the various Agribank loan products under the Women and Youth scheme that was launched last year, while addressing obstacles on the loan product application journey. 

Free lectures, and training as well as a podcast broadcasting targeting established, and emerging farmers also take place during these sessions. 

So far, the networking sessions covered Noordoewer, Aussenkehr, Oranjemund and Lüderitz in the //Kharas region as well as Maltahöhe , Aranos and Rehoboth in the Hardap region. 

Agribank vows to continue to monitor the environment and the public will be informed when the face-to-face networking sessions will resume. 

In the meantime, Agribank urges all Namibians of all walks of life to continue to adhere to the Covid-19 safety regulations, go for voluntary vaccination, as well as to regularly wash their hands, sanitise and wear facemasks in order to contribute to the flattening of the infection curve.
