HSF and DRFN chew on some ‘Food-for-Thought’

The Hanns Seidel Foundation (HSF) and the Desert Research Foundation of Namibia (DRFN) are jointly implementing a three-year project from 2015 to 2017 with the focus on contributing to environmental sustainability through awareness-raising on environmental protection and climate change adaptation and mitigation.

After a hearty welcome to the House of Democacry by HSF Head of Office Nicole Bogott, DRFN’s Mwala Lubinda provided a closer look at the general Climate Change context in Namibia. Project Coordinator, Lesley-Anne van Wyk, gave a brief overview of the Project, follwing which the floor was opened for a lively discussion on key priority themes and topics for information and education materials. Overall, the event contributed to improved awareness on the information needs of some of the key target groups of the project.
