Employees' education at Gondwana

The Financial Literacy Initiative (FLI) Secretariat and the Gondwana Collection Namibia have announced a
cooperation to deliver financial education, through a FLI Financial Wellness Workplace Programme to Gondwana employees.
The cooperation is formalised by a Memorandum of Understanding signed on 29 July. One of the key areas that have priority is monitoring and evaluating the effectiveness of the programme for further development.
Already 10 Gondwana Volunteers have been trained as Peer Educators at the workplace through the
Training-of-Trainers (TOT) Programme and are consequently facilitating training in their respective regions. The program covers topics ranging from basic numeracy, money and wellbeing, saving, budgeting, spending, bank accounts, borrowing, retirement, finances and children, as well as managing a side business.
The Financial Literacy Initiative was first launched in March 2012 by the Minister of Finance Saara Kuugongelwa-Amadhila, to enhance financial education for individuals and small and medium enterprises in Namibia.
The initiative has grown in the industry and now works with more than 40 platform partners from the private,
public and civil sectors.
The financial wellness program for workplaces is also supported by print material such as posters, flyers and

booklets, translated into various Namibian langua-ges.
FLI activities also include interactive educational undertakings such as street theatre, TV and radio shows; and financial literacy training for individuals and micro, small and medium enterprises in Namibia.
