ECSO Project Public Dialogue and CSO Stakeholder Meeting
Kunene Region
The ECSO project will be hosting two events in the Kunene region this week in an effort to bring community members, civil society organisations and regional stakeholders together to discuss burning issues faced by the regions. On Tuesday 16 April 2024 the team will be hosting a Public Dialogue on two key issues identified by CSOs as needing to be addressed together with stakeholders to reach a solution, the first "Alcohol and Drug Abuse: How the multiplying bars had affected the youth in the community". The second topic that will be discussed is "The lack of educational qualification and its impact on unemployment". Through the platform provided by KAS and WAD it is the hope that community members along with CSOs and stakeholders will come to solutions to these issues faced by their communities. On 17 April 2024 a CSO and stakeholder meeting will take place with the participating CSOs in the project and Regional Authorities as a means for each to collaborate and build a relationship.
