Onghendambala Open Market Phase I Inauguration
Honorable Nestor Kalola, Regional Councillor of Samora Machel Constituency, officially inaugurated the newly revamped Onghendambala Open Market Phase I in Katutura on Friday, 21 July 2023.
This important development aims to empower Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) and informal traders by providing a modern, conducive trading facility and affordable operating infrastructure.
Key Highlights:
- Economic Empowerment: The market is positioned to reduce high unemployment, foster self-employment, and transform under-utilized areas into a hub of productivity.
- Support for the Private Sector: It will serve as a vital platform for entrepreneurs to conduct business, share experiences, and receive support, ultimately assisting businesses to grow into “business champions.”
- Strategic Partnerships: The revamp was a success thanks to the collective efforts and appreciation extended to VISET Namibia, the US Embassy, and the City of Windhoek.
- Visionary Message: The project embodies the spirit of self-sufficiency and echoes the national commitment that “No Namibian should feel left out.” The facility will serve as a vehicle for the private sector to drive creativity, innovation, and improved living standards.
