Regional conversations are strongest when they are informed by evidence and the lived realities of the communities they aim to serve.
Last week, IntraHealth Namibia joined youth leaders, academic institutions, practitioners, partners, and parliamentarians from across Southern Africa at the three-day Sixth Southern African Regional Students and Youth Conference (SARSYC VI).
The conference provided a platform to exchange knowledge, strengthen collaboration, and explore practical solutions that advance the health, education, and digital inclusion of young people.
Our participation in this regional conversation was informed by the work taking place across Namibia, where IntraHealth Namibia works alongside partners and communities to expand access to health information, strengthen community engagement, and improve linkages to essential health and social services. Through initiatives such as Project HUGUVARA, community care workers are helping young people access information and support, connect to services, and make informed decisions about their health and wellbeing.
As we engaged in this regional dialogue, we did so with one goal: to listen, contribute, and return with ideas and relationships that strengthen the work we do alongside communities across Namibia.
