The Namibia Youth Energy Forum (NYEF) has announced a sponsorship from First National Bank Namibia (FNB Namibia) to support the establishment of its Lüderitz Branch. This partnership comes at a pivotal time as NYEF implements its nationwide expansion strategy aimed at engaging youth across all 14 regions of Namibia.
As the premier platform for young Namibians in the energy sector—spanning Oil & Gas, Hydrogen, and Renewable Energy—NYEF is dedicated to empowering the next generation to play an active role in shaping Namibia’s energy landscape. The sponsorship from FNB Namibia underscores a shared commitment to ensuring that young people are educated, equipped, informed, and supported in their pursuit of opportunities within the energy industry.
Fanuel Shinedima, Founder & Chairperson of NYEF, expressed profound gratitude for FNB Namibia’s support: “This sponsorship is not just a boost for NYEF, but a significant investment in the future of Namibian youth. With FNB Namibia’s support, we can provide more resources, mentorship, and opportunities that are crucial for the development of our young leaders in the energy sector. We call upon all stakeholders to join hands in supporting Namibian youth, ensuring they have the tools and access needed to actively shape our nation’s energy landscape.”
The partnership with FNB Namibia will enable NYEF to enhance its educational programs, workshops, and networking events, ultimately fostering a more informed and engaged youth demographic. By creating tangible opportunities such as scholarships, internships, and entrepreneurial support, NYEF aims to cultivate a new generation of change-makers who will drive sustainable energy solutions in Namibia. FNB Namibia’s commitment to corporate social responsibility aligns seamlessly with NYEF’s mission to inspire and empower young Namibians. Together, they aim to create a brighter future for the country’s energy sector, fostering innovation and sustainability.
