PRESIDENT Netumbo Nandi-Ndaitwah has visited the Sikondo Green Scheme Irrigation Project in the Kavango West Region to assess agricultural productivity and review operational progress as part of her ongoing national familiarisation tour of Namibia’s green schemes.
The President arrived at the project accompanied by Agriculture, Fisheries, Water and Land Reform Minister Inge Zaamwani and Minister in the Presidency Charles Mubita.
The visit forms part of Government’s broader effort to evaluate the performance of strategic irrigation projects and strengthen national food security and agricultural development initiatives.
Established to harness the agricultural potential of the Kavango River, the Sikondo Green Scheme is one of Namibia’s key irrigation projects, contributing to employment creation, skills development, rural economic growth, and efforts to improve food self-sufficiency.
During the visit, the delegation is expected to review progress made since previous engagements and engage with project managers on operational challenges and opportunities for improved productivity.
