Strength in Partnership: NELGA Supports the Launch of the YILAA Namibia Network

The Youth Initiative for Land in Africa (YILAA) Namibia Network has officially been launched, marking a milestone in empowering young Namibians to engage meaningfully in land governance and sustainable development. This initiative is dedicated to connecting youth to land and creating opportunities for their active participation in shaping Namibia’s land future.

Through collaboration with NELGA, the National Youth Council of Namibia, the Namibia University of Science and Technology (NUST), and the FIG Young Surveyors Network of Namibia (YSN-Namibia), the initiative builds a strong foundation for inclusive and sustainable land management.

The YILAA Namibia Network aims to enhance youth access to knowledge, innovation, and participation in land-related decision-making processes. By bringing together diverse expertise and fostering collaboration, the network promotes responsible and equitable land governance ensuring that young voices are heard and valued in shaping Namibia’s development pathways.
