The Okanguati Multi-Purpose Community Centre was established by the government of the Republic of Namibia, through the Ministry of Information and Communication Technology, in 2007. By doing so the government aimed at making ICT accessible to all citizens, especially in rural areas. For this purpose, it donated ICT equipment to some rural areas, including Okanguati.

New Era, in cooperation with MICT and UNESCO, is now working on other initiatives, involving training of young people in rural areas on photography and reporting, with the goal to enable them to generate news on topics of interest for their communities.

UNESCO will continue its cooperation with Namibian print and broadcast media in order to enhance access to knowledge in remote and rural areas, which lack constant and reliable sources of information. It will also assist the country to move towards a knowledge-based economy, particularly focusing on media and information literacy, which is the basis of the current initiative and the area of concern for MICT
