The African Leadership Institute (ALI) completed its sixth training for health officials in Namibia leading to 12 healthcare professionals now being able to register for and graduate with the Namibia Qualifications Authority-accredited Certificate in Transformational Leadership.

The training was sponsored by FirstRand Namibia Foundation.

The foundation’s corporate social investment manager, Revonia Kahivere, in a recent media statement said FirstRand Namibia Foundation has trained more than 45 recipients from the Ministry of Health and Social Services hailing from the Oshakati, Omaruru and Omaheke regions and Katutura Intermediate Hospital.

She said the current global situation is a testament that partnerships of this nature inspire much-needed context-based solutions and the development of tools that are tailored specifically for the challenges the country is dealing with today and might have to face in future.

“The FirstRand Namibia Foundation’s partnership with the Ministry of Health and Social Services and the African Leadership Institute has been invaluable and has assisted them in making significant strides in improving their leadership and transformational contributions towards healthcare for Namibians,” said Kahivere.

Chrisna von Gericke-Fourie of ALI was thankful for the support from FirstRand Namibia Foundation.

“We are happy to see the positive impact of the training as we have heard success stories from the various areas where our training participants work. We, at ALI, are excited about our vision to transform Namibia and the rest of Africa and are therefore grateful to those who partner with us to make this vision a reality.”

Another group of 14 leaders will start their training at the end of June 2021. The training focuses on building human capital, as well as social capital and participants are equipped not only to lead themselves but are given skills and knowledge to lead others, to lead transformation in their respective spheres of influence, the statement said.
