80 Voices for 80 Years of United Nations

As the United Nations marks its 80th anniversary, Resident Coordinator Ms. Hopolang Phororo introduces the "80 Voices for 80 Years" initiative to capture authentic perspectives on the UN’s role in Namibia. She highlights that these reflections are vital for shaping the UN Sustainable Development Cooperation Framework (2025–2029), ensuring that the organization’s technical support remains directly aligned with Namibia’s national priorities and the Pact for the Future.

The people of Namibia speak to a journey that began with the struggle for independence and continues today through the pursuit of economic resilience, healthcare, and social justice. By integrating these local insights into the Cooperation Framework, the UN aims to move beyond global rhetoric to deliver tangible results that foster dignity and self-reliance. Ultimately, this is not a message from the UN, but from Namibia itself, signaling that it is time for the world to listen and act.
