The Executive Chairperson of the One Economy Foundation, Monica Geingos, has urged the Joint Women's Parliamentary Caucus to be 'legacy-minded' as they serve in Parliament.
Geingos made an appeal when the caucus paid a visit to the #BeFree Youth Campus in Katutura, where the delegation also toured the facility.
"What is it that you need to do as a member of Parliament while you are in Parliament that will leave a legacy behind? What topic do you want to be known for, to the extent that when that topic is mentioned, people immediately think of you?"
The Deputy Minister of Health and Social Services, Susan Ndjaleka, who is also the Deputy Chairperson of the Caucus, commended Geingos and her team for driving grassroots change, advancing social justice, and protecting the most vulnerable.
"We believe the Caucus and the One Economy Foundation are, at heart, doing the same work from different ends of the spectrum. While the Foundation meets people where they are – in communities, informal settlements, clinics, and counselling rooms – we are in Parliament working to ensure that the laws and budgets of this country reflect and protect those same people. It is with this in mind that we come to you, Madam Geingos, with an earnest and sincere call for partnership and collaboration. Together, the Foundation and the Caucus can form an unbreakable bond, one that stretches from the community to the statute books."
The Joint Women's Parliamentary Caucus was officially inaugurated in March 2026.
It brings together women parliamentarians from both the National Assembly and the National Council, regardless of political affiliation, to ensure that no woman or marginalised voice is left behind.
The Caucus also advances the agenda for equal representation and meaningful participation across all spheres of society.
