PRESIDENT Hage Geingob has once again dedicated a full engagement session to the Namibian youth, to collectively discuss issues of national concern, with unemployment being the main issue.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

The four-hour-long session took place at State House on Thursday.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

November is Africa Youth Month, under the theme Defining the Future today: Youth-led Solutions for building the Africa we want.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cThis year\u2019s commemoration spotlights efforts by young Namibian and African youth towards recovery from the pandemic and also aiming to encourage young people to focus on youth-led solutions in shaping the future,\u201d Geingob said.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

The presidency devoted the dialogue to the challenges and difficulties faced by young Namibians at large at the event that was described by attendees as delightful and vibrant.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Developmental programmes and young people\u2019s involvement in the provision of prospective solutions to national matters were discussed.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

The youth proposed to the high office that the incorporation of Entrepreneurship as a subject in the lower education system in all Namibia schools could be a potential solution.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

They argued that many Namibians are taught and mentally made to work hard and become good employees, as opposed to becoming job creators through entrepreneurship.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

During the engagement, Geingob recapped the country\u2019s Green Hydrogen Project initiative, which he talked about at the United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP 26) held in Glasgow recently.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

The project will produce an estimated 300,000 tons of green hydrogen per year in the African nation which will serve both domestic applications as well as exportation potential.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Initially, 2GW of renewable electricity generation will be implemented that will produce green hydrogen with further phases planned to scale up to 5GW and 3GW of electrolyser capacity.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Namibia is a nation with an abundance of potential for producing renewable energy and, in turn, green hydrogen, Geingob said.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

This project, situated in the Tsau\/\/Khaeb National Park, will put the country on the map for green hydrogen as its looks to situate itself as a key global player for the export of hydrogen and ammonia.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Geingob convenes the Presidential Youth Engagement annually.<\/p>\n
