The Government of the Republic of Namibia, through the Namibia Green Hydrogen Programme (NGH2P) under the leadership of the @NPC_Namibia, hosted a regional stakeholder engagement in Lüderitz on Monday, 08 June 2026, as part of Namibia’s preparation of the @CIF_Action Industry Decarbonisation Programme Sectoral Transformation Investment Plan (CIF IDP s-TIP).
The engagement, held at the Lüderitz Waterfront Development Company Conference Centre, brought together regional leadership, traditional authorities, local authorities, state-owned enterprises, project developers, development partners, youth and women’s representatives, labour organisations, training institutions and community stakeholders. The session formed part of Namibia’s national effort to gather grounded regional inputs ahead of the country’s CIF Investment Plan submission, aimed at unlocking up to USD 250 million in concessional funding for green industrialisation and industry decarbonisation projects.
The workshop focused on regional readiness, infrastructure needs and stakeholder priorities, with particular attention to clean energy, green hydrogen and broader green industrialisation opportunities in the ||Kharas Region. Discussions covered Namibia’s national vision for clean energy and industrialisation, the overview of 78 shortlisted developers, common-user infrastructure requirements, community participation, labour readiness and local inclusion.
Delivering the keynote address, ||Kharas Governor Hon. Dawid Gertze said the region occupies a special place in Namibia’s emerging green industrial future. He noted that Namibia’s green industrialisation agenda “is no longer just a policy conversation in Windhoek or a topic discussed at international summits,” but has become a practical regional and local matter linked to livelihoods, jobs, skills, infrastructure and community trust.
The Chairperson of the ||Kharas Regional Council, Hon. Gerrit Witbooi, welcomed participants and emphasised the importance of ensuring that regional voices are reflected in the national process. He stated that the engagement was “not an ordinary consultation,” but part of Namibia’s preparations to unlock significant concessional financing for the country’s green industrialisation agenda.
Key sessions assessed enabling infrastructure such as port facilities, transmission corridors, desalination and bulk water supply, rail and road corridors, pipelines, storage and shared utilities for industrial zones. Stakeholders also discussed social licence, workforce development, inclusivity, local enterprise opportunities and community expectations.
Inputs gathered from Lüderitz will contribute to the development of a stronger, regionally informed and nationally relevant CIF IDP s-TIP that supports investment, job creation, industrial growth & long-term sustainable development.
I may be wrong, but if the decision followed the proper legal and governance process, I do not see how it can fairly be called “toxic.” Elected officials remain legitimate while in office, and any wrongdoing should be addressed through legal and oversight channels.
No public office is permanent. Leadership changes are part of governance, and Surrey’s policing institutions should be strong enough to continue serving the public under new leadership. The focus now should be stability, accountability, and public safety.
