MCC’s $295.7 million Namibia Compact (2009-2014) funded the $7.6 million Indigenous Natural Product (INP) Activity. The activity aimed to improve quality and increase quantity and sales of five native plant products used in health and beauty markets to ultimately increase harvesters’ income, the majority of whom are women. Sub-activities included training harvesters and the intermediaries who facilitate sales, as well as establishing an Innovation Fund and market information tool to improve competitiveness within the sector.
