2. To revive and sustain rural and urban economy.
3. To capacity build institutional personnel, NGOs, CBOs and community groups.
4. To provide funding, when available when available to local NGOs, CBOs, etc to reduce marginalization, injustices, and causes of poverty.
5. To add value to livelihood products, improving the living standards of people and enable them to exercise their rights and manage their own lives.

Komeho Namibia was formed by ex-OXFAM Canada staff, who have extensive experience in administering large and small projects as well as in conducting participatory rural appraisals. It’s staff members actively involve communities in discussing their development needs and in carrying out development planning processes.

Komeho Namibia is our partner organisation in Nambia and we have been working with them since 2003. They are our link with the local communities and monitor our projects on the ground to ensure they proceed as planned.
