Orano Mining Namibia, in partnership with the Arandis Town Council, has refurbished the Arandis Open Market, strengthening support for small businesses and local economic activity in the town.
The upgrade, completed at the end of 2025 at a cost of N$300,000, restores the facility into a modern and functional trading space for local entrepreneurs. The market was originally established in 2012 through a N$500,000 investment by Orano, then operating as AREVA Namibia.
The development of the market traces back to a 2005 baseline study which identified a lack of formal trading space as a major constraint for small and medium enterprises, many of which operated informally without adequate infrastructure.
The facility provides 16 business units along with shared trading areas and has since become a key hub for small-scale enterprise in Arandis.
