With FNB Namibia’s backing, we can provide more resources, mentorship, and opportunities vital for the development of young leaders in the energy sector. We encourage all stakeholders to support Namibian youth in shaping the nation’s energy landscape.”
The partnership will allow NYEF to enhance its educational programs, workshops, and networking events, fostering a more engaged and informed youth demographic. By creating tangible opportunities such as scholarships, internships, and entrepreneurial support, NYEF aims to nurture a new generation of change-makers focused on driving sustainable energy solutions in Namibia.
