Namibia
The Challenge
As one of the youngest democracies in Africa, Namibia faces formidable development challenges including one of the world’s worst HIV/AIDS and Tuberculosis (TB) epidemics, the worst income inequality in the world, severe poverty with half of the country’s population living below the poverty line, high unemployment, a low-skilled workforce, and an economy that remains heavily reliant on extractive industries. USAID is improving livelihoods of the rural poor while conserving Namibia’s natural resources through its community-based natural resource management program; equipping youth with market-relevant and life skills by improving the quality of primary education; and enhancing the effectiveness of Namibia’s democratic governance through support for parliament and civil society. USAID strengthens the capacity of the Namibian National TB Control Program, and provides prevention, care, and treatment for those affected by HIV/AIDS through the President’s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief.
