Namibian Prime Minister Elijah Ngurare wants more women to join the green hydrogen industry. His message came through Moses Pakote at a Women in Green Hydrogen Namibia event. He stressed that women need better training, education, and access to money for business opportunities.
"Women will gain from green jobs through skills training, education, funding, and fair buying policies," Pakote said for the PM. The plan aims to attract women to green hydrogen work and other fields like oil, gas, farming, tourism, and tech.
Iyaloo Akuaake, who leads Women in Green Hydrogen Namibia, noted that old data shows 35% of women in the field. "We need fresh numbers to see where we stand today," she said. She pointed out that green hydrogen and oil jobs need different skills, but both help the country grow. Green projects often get more cash from investors who care about clean energy.
The group works to ensure that women have equal opportunities in the green energy shift as Namibia moves toward less carbon use.
