📍 Day 2 | Northwest Cluster Capacity Building Workshop

Day 2 of the Northwest Cluster Capacity Building Workshop was filled with impactful learning, engagement, and practical leadership development as participants unpacked Module 2: Dream & Design

Mr. Muesee Kazapua, Cluster Head, facilitated a powerful session on Understanding Advocacy in Namibia. He emphasized the role of young leaders in advocacy and highlighted key objectives such as:
✔️ Raising awareness on important community issues
✔️ Encouraging accountability and transparency
✔️ Strengthening engagement with decision-makers

The session empowered participants to understand advocacy not only as a concept, but as a tool for meaningful community transformation.

Mr. Ileni Henguva also facilitated an insightful session on Asset-Based Community Development (ABCD) & Appreciative Inquiry (AI), where he emphasized the importance of shifting from a deficit-based mindset to a strength-based approach in order to achieve sustainable community change.
Through hands-on group activities, young leaders identified existing community assets, stakeholders, and explored the relationships that strengthen community development and collaboration.

The training continues to equip young leaders from Kunene, Omusati, Ohangwena, and Oshikoto with practical knowledge and leadership skills to drive positive change within their communities. 🔥🇳🇦

CAPACITY BUILDING TRAINING PROGRAMME FOR CONSTITUENCY & REGIONAL YOUTH LEADERS

DAY 3 | LEAD & INSPIRE

Day three was filled with energy, growth, and meaningful conversations as young leaders continued building skills, confidence, and vision for their communities.

From teamwork and leadership discussions to sharing ideas and learning from one another, the day reminded us that leadership is not about position, it’s about impact, collaboration, and inspiring change.

The future is bright when passionate young people come together with purpose, determination, and a shared commitment to making a difference.
