Comrades Association (CA)
Youth-led civic education and entrepreneurship initiative
About
The Comrades Association (CA) is a youth-led voluntary association, established in 2021, that is mandated by its constitution to educate fellow youth in civic knowledge and skills, respect for the rule of law and agricultural know-how. Its own research found that many young Namibians have limited understanding of civic education and democratic governance, which it works to address. Mindset change is central to its approach, supported by Vision, Commitment and Action workshops that help communities envision their own futures. The association also works to instil an entrepreneurial mindset in youth, women and underprivileged communities through social consciousness programmes, business symposiums and skills training. It raises funds for business start-ups and guides new enterprises towards becoming viable small and medium enterprises.
