LightsAre On For Shack Dwellers

The Environmental Investment Fund of Namibia (EIF) and Erongo Red have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) which will enable them to electrify32homes,belongingtotheShackDwellers,undertheErongoRegional Energy Distributor (Erongo Red). The signing of the MoU took place in Swakopmundrecently.

The MoU is a formal commitment in complimenting each other's duties and functions pertaining to the solar electrification drive across three (3) earmarkedwindowsto provide identified communities in the Otjozondjupa, Kunene, Erongo Region with concessional funded solar installationalongwithmentoring, capacity building and technical development training to MSME owners in the regions.

While officiating the

event, the Governor of Erongo Region, Neville AndréItopesaid,“itisa reality that postindependence a significantportionoftheNamibianruralandperi-urban population still do not have access to modern energy technologies and services. The existing supplyofelectricitycannot cover its demand, especially in times of a changing climate and increasing requirements forcleanandsustainable energysolutions.

Meeting this increasing demand, particularly in vulnerable rural com-

munities and peri-urban (informal)settlements,is presenting a challenge because sustainable economic development and the achievement of Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 7 (access to affordable, reliable, sustainable, and modern energy for all) is onlypossibleifsufficient energyisavailable.”

Itope further said due to theincreasingurgencyof preventing and mitigatingtheimpactsofclimate change, the Paris Climate Agreement and SDG 13 (action to com-

batclimatechangeandits impacts) require in addition that economic growth and sustainable development be powered by renewable energy, which also takes into consideration the needs for an inclusive and equitable development andaccesstoenergy.

Itope stated that through this initiative an electrification benchmark of upto300householdsand five SME's will be achieved. “We will establish a working concept for the installation and supply chainfunctionthatspeaks to current market needs. This collaboration will develop an alternative financing model that addresses a gap in the renewableenergyfinancing segment, such as for example developing and applying funding models likeconcessionalloansor results-based funding/development, targeting in particular female/women-lead, vulnerablehouseholds.”

The Chief Operations

Officer,Mr.KarlAribeb of the EIF said, “the electrification drive further targeted individual households within the identified communities of which 50% are women-headed households and MSMEs' looking to pilot and scale their inclusive business models and solutions are enterprises thatincludelow-income people as customers, owners, employees, producers and entrepreneurs at various points within the value chain.” AccordingtoAriseb,the community identified under Erongo RED for the TIDRET rural electrification component was the Shack Dwellers Community Houses in Swakopmund in the Erongo Region. Aribeb said that the homeowners are low-income working individuals, who cannot afford to purchase supply equipment to connect to the gridduetothecostlypricing of electrical installations.

The Project Management Unit (PMU) identified priority communities for electrification via extensive stakeholder engagement

and recommendations from the Ministry of Urban and Rural Development – the custodians for development in rural and periurban Namibia as well as the respective regional energy Distributors.

The criteria used to affirm recommendations were the proximity of the said areas from the grid and further the demographics of the said communities.

The MoU coverage is further focused on strengtheningeffortsfor joint advocacy supportingtheachievement of the ambitious targets under the NDC and green economy agenda, which will directly tackle the several systematic barriers that have been identified in

termsoftheNDCimplementation including addressing the gaps in implementing NDC's. It also includes institutional, human, and technical capacity, inadequate financial resources, the need for stronger stakeholder engagement and to address the challenge of lack of access to electricity in rural and periurban areas and specifically investigate innovativefinancingand support mechanisms for the electrification of theseareas.

Aribeb said although much progress has been made,itremainsareality that more work needs to be done and urges other stakeholders to work together to share developmental ambitions and national progress.

From Walvis Bay to Qingdao, China

LocalresidentKieranHaywardrecentlytradedinWalvisBay for Qingdao China, where he is employed as a Foreign ProfessionalEnglishasaSecondLanguage(ESL)Instructor.

Hayward stated that after he graduated from the University of Namibia (UNAM) in 2016, he couldnevermanagetosecure permanent employmentinNamibia.

“I eventually managed to getateachingpositionata local government primary school and though I excelled at teaching (parentswouldattesttothis),I remained on contract and could never be appointed onapermanentbasis.This lackofopportunitiesinmy home country, coupled with the fact that over the

years I saw how institutionalised racism, nepotism and plain corruption in the employment market,wasleadingtothemarginalisation of minority groups, led me to seek greenerpasturesabroad.”

He stated that it was quite the challenge to get all the paperwork verified and done, but in the end it was wellworthit.

“Since arriving in beautiful Qingdao China, I think the greatest challenge I've faced is missing my loved ones back home- my wife, kids, mom and siblings.

And of course, the tastes and comforts of home. The delicious stews, soup on a cold day, braaivleis, roosterbrood and off coursepotatosalad.”

“I specialise in instructing students who are preparing to study a-

Hesaidthatheisadapting quite well to his new home.

“The Chinese have been very welcoming and my transition has been made easy by the fact that there arequiteafewSouthAfricansinQingdao.Weshare the same values, interest and I have people I can speak Afrikaans with!

Overall, it's what you make of it. I've embraced the culture, customs and cuisine.”

He encouraged those who are in the process of preparing for life overseas to “keep at it. The journey is difficult,butit'sworthit.

Opportunities are limited at home, so if you get the opportunity to move abroadandstartafresh,do it.”

“At times you'll find yourself questioning whether you've made the right decision, but at the end of the day, any opportunityisbetterthan noopportunity.”

Hayward added that Namibia will also be home.

“Asapatrioticsonofthe soil, I am duty bound to serve my nation. When the right opportunity presents itself to help build my nation by ploughing back my knowledge and experience,Iwillheedthecall andreturn,butaslongas the status quo remains back home, I see myself enriching and contributing to the developmentofforeignnations.” “Keepatit.Ifaboyfrom 'die Hongerlaagte in Narraville'coulddoit,so canyou!”
