Image
Inna Hengari – Namibia Inna Hengari – Namibia During my visit to Vietnam, I was greatly impressed by the country’s development and infrastructure. The well-built roads, impressive architecture, and efficient transportation system in Hanoi are a testament to Vietnam’s progress. The hardworking nature of the Vietnamese people is evident in their efforts to build a prosperous future for their communities. As Namibians, we can learn from their example and work together to develop our own country. However, Namibia faces a significant challenge in terms of digital transformation – unemployment. Without jobs, young people struggle to afford basic necessities like mobile phones and internet access, let alone engage in digital transformation. One solution that we are considering is government support for young people to gain access to the internet and technology.
