We work at the intersection of advocacy, capacity building and research to empower Namibia's informal economy actors.
We engage town councils, municipalities and other national policy entities to ensure by-laws , labour , trade and SME policies recognize informal workers in national development.
We equip informal economy actors with the skills, knowledge and networks to grow from survivalist enterprises to sustainable businesses.
We document the lived realities of informal workers and produce evidence-based research to inform policy and practice.
We provide infrastructure support for improved trading spaces, sanitation, secure storage, access to water that enhance the dignity and growth potential of informal traders and SME’s.
We push for the active participation of informal actors in the decisions that shape their workplaces and livelihoods.
We build alliances with sister organisations, civil society, private sector and government.
Our Approach
Transformation begins with opportunity. We are committed to creating pathways for informal businesses to transition from survival-based activities into sustainable business that generates jobs, creates value and fuels namibias economic progress
