Social Sector

General Information

The Regional Council Act requires local authorities to pay over 5% in fees collected through rates and taxes. These funds are redirected towards social investment projects such as support to primary education, health and safety. The Erongo Regional Council is bidding for additional resources directly from donors such as the European Union to augment its resource base and thereby expand investment in social development activities of the region. The Council is keen at forging public/private partnerships in this regard.
