Deputy Minister of Education, Arts and Culture, Faustina Caley, has highlighted the challenge of inadequate data in developing initiatives to support the local arts and culture sector. During a public discussion in Windhoek, Caley noted the government’s introduction of an N$8 billion economic stimulus and relief package during the peak of the COVID-19 pandemic to alleviate economic conditions.
