Hardap Region Invests in Agriculture and Tourism for Economic Growth
The Hardap region in Namibia is focusing on agriculture and tourism as key drivers of economic growth, according to Governor Riaan McNab. In a recent address, McNab highlighted government investments in farmer support programs, climate resilience initiatives, and tourism development projects. These efforts aim to improve food security, strengthen farming communities against climate change, and stimulate economic growth. The region has allocated significant funds to support horticulture and poultry value chains, benefiting numerous farmers. Additionally, a Japan-funded resilience project is set to aid drought-affected farmers. In tourism, the region is recovering post-COVID-19, with increased revenue and investments in infrastructure to enhance visitor experiences.
