The project “Circular Integrated Aquaculture-Horticulture Systems for Climate Resilience in Namibia (NamiGreen)” has been approved by the Global Environment Facility (GEF) as a Full-Sized Project under the GEF-8 Food Systems Integrated Programme (FS-IP), with total funding of USD 7,445,260.

The project aligns with the priorities of Namibia’s Sixth National Development Plan (NDP6), including climate adaptation, food and nutrition security, sustainable land.
