The environment and tourism ministry will be implementing a Festive Season Environmental Awareness Campaign, taking place from 8 to 23 December 2025 in the Kavango East,
Ohangwena, Oshikoto, Kunene and Erongo regions.
This initiative follows the official launch of the National Clean-up Campaign at Nkurenkuru, Kavango West, by the ministry and the regional leadership on 20 September 2025.
The ministry and its partners aim to intensify public education on keeping Namibia clean during the festive season and beyond.
The campaign will use the high-travel period to raise awareness at selected traffic checkpoints and in nearby communities.
Holidaymakers will be encouraged to adopt sustainable waste management practices that support the circular economy of reducing, reusing, recycling and rethinking waste to ensure cleaner and healthier ecosystems.
The campaign also seeks to promote a culture of responsible waste disposal to curb illegal dumping and promote environmental cleanliness.
Activities in each region will be led by regional governors, regional police leadership, youth leaders and other key stakeholders.
Today, the campaign kicked off at Rundu Beach, from where it moves to the Onhuno Road Traffic Checkpoint on Wednesday and the Oshivelo Road Traffic Checkpoint on Friday.
On 15 December, the campaign will be at the ministry of international and trade’s office at Opuwo, and on 19 December, Swakpmund Road Traffic Checkpoint.
