Given that many Namibians continue to face socio-economic challenges, the introduction of a Basic Income Grant (BIG) remains urgent.

The United Democratic Front (UDF) has pledged to implement free education, provide basic income grants for the unemployed, and promote equal wealth distribution if the party wins the upcoming elections.

The National Unity Democratic Organisation (NUDO) unveiled its election manifesto in Otjinene, Omaheke Region, with a promise to create over 200,000 jobs.

Despite a delayed start and windy conditions, NUDO supporters eagerly anticipated the party’s vision for Namibia.

595 people have registered for the Conditional Basic Income Grant at Otavi. 

The Otavi Constituency Office is compiling a report for consideration by the Ministry of Gender, Poverty Eradication, and Social Welfare. 

The Councillor of Rundu Rural Constituency in the Kavango East Region, Paulus Mbangu, has suggested that government implement a basic income grant that will cater to every unemployed Namibian and so combat poverty and unemployment in the country.
