Old Mutual Sustainable, Economic and Empowerment Drive (OM SEED)

The Old Mutual Foundation along with Launch Namibia, the Financial Literacy Initiative (FLI), and the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) Accelerator Lab, launched the Old Mutual Sustainable, Economic & Empowerment Drive (OM SEED) initiative.

The 2022 OM SEED focused on grassroots entrepreneurs in three Namibian towns, namely; Keetmanshoop, Oshakati, and Windhoek. OM SEED is tailored to promote financial literacy and skills development in the Namibian market. This was achieved by providing Financial Literacy Training, Entrepreneurship, and Leadership Training, and Sustainable Business Practices to 180 shortlisted applicants from the three participating towns.

From the shortlisted candidates, 20 finalists were selected in each town, from which three winners were selected to win capital for their businesses.
