NYEF seeks increased local participation in energy sector Niël Terblanché The Namibia Youth Energy Forum (NYEF) has taken a determined step toward increasing youth involvement in the country’s energy sector by engaging with the Presidency. On Monday, NYEF met with senior advisors at the State House. The meeting followed an invitation from President Netumbo Nandi-Ndaitwah and was hosted by the Upstream Petroleum Unit in the Presidency. NYEF representatives met with Cornelia Shilunga, special advisor and head of the unit, along with deputy head Carlo Lord Muhamed McLeodas and technical assistant Joseph Amakali. The NYEF delegation included Advisory Board Chairperson Miguel Hamutenya, Vice-Chairperson Gisela Sebastiao, Advisory Board Member Olavi Hangula, Managing Director Andreas Paulus, and Project Manager Namwenyo Mhata. Paulus said the meeting aimed to formally introduce NYEF to the Office of the President and to promote youth-centred energy policies.  It also focused on collaboration in areas such as local content development, policy formulation, and transformation across the energy sector. “This meeting strengthens our collective voice and capabilities as we continue to champion youth empowerment in shaping Namibia’s energy future. It is a powerful signal that the presidency recognises the role of youth in driving national progress,” he said. NYEF sees the meeting as important as it prepares to host its national event, the Namibia Energy Connect & Energy Trailblazer Awards 2025. Set for the first week of November in Windhoek, the two-day event is expected to draw more than 500 delegates. Participants will include local and international energy leaders, young innovators, and policy stakeholders. NYEF described the event as a movement focused on placing Namibian youth and communities at the centre of the country’s energy agenda.  It will promote dialogue, partnerships, and recognition of achievement across energy value chains, including oil and gas, green hydrogen, and renewables. Under the theme “Local participation at the forefront!”, NYEF aims to create a space for real engagement and opportunity.  The forum sees itself as a link between emerging talent and the energy sector’s key priorities. Founded by Namibian youth, NYEF has grown into a leading platform for young people in the energy field.  It focuses on inclusion and empowerment in a space often shaped by established companies and international players. The meeting at the State House adds momentum to calls for more inclusive policies in the country’s energy future.  NYEF wants to ensure that Namibia’s energy transition supports both innovation and generational fairness by involving young people in top-level decision-making.
