The Ohangwena Regional Council will be upgrading and developing 645km of roads across the region at an estimated cost of N$1.4 billion over the next five years. 🛣️ The programme will upgrade 265km of roads to tarred standard at a cost of N$985 million and develop an additional 380km of gravel roads for N$380 million. The upgrade and expansion is aimed at improving connections between rural communities, schools, health facilities, markets and other essential services, particularly in eastern Ohangwena where poor road access has remained a challenge. The projects are expected to be implemented through national road authorities and government funding, with development partners including Germany’s KfW supporting some road projects in the region.   submitted by   /u/namibpulse [link]   [comments]
