Each year there is a steady progress in all-round development activities that have been carried out in different parts of Eritrea. Health, education, and agriculture sectors are of course the utmost priorities of the county. If one happens to see network of brand new hospitals and medical centers being expanded in different parts of Eritrea, it is quite easy to understand that nothing less is being achieved in other development sectors.

Linking different areas of Eritrea with road networks has been among the success stories which the country is to be proud of. What has been achieved in marine transportation is also not to be viewed lightly. However, unlike to the tremendous progress in land transportation there have been limitations in marine transport as the fairly good infrastructure does not yet correspond to Eritrea’s maritime endowment.

It has repeatedly been said that Eritrea is endowed with abundant sources of renewable energy. Even though there is a high potential of Wind and solar energy, geothermal potential is also not to be viewed lightly. Despite such huge potential, only 2% of Eritrea’s population has so far become beneficiary of renewable sources of energy. This being the fact, only 38% of the country’s overall population has been having access to electricity.

Providing access to education has almost been realized throughout Eritrea.  There may be areas that need attention so as to enable every national have an access to education in the nearest vicinity. What really is of a primary concern at this time is however quality of education.

Some people compare cutting down of trees as equal to gunning down a person. Taking into account people’s dependence on sound ecology, it makes one think of the dire consequences that could be fall upon people’s well-being in an environment where nature’s setting and all its natural floras are all in a mess. That is way a large portion of Eritrea’s youth have been engaging themselves in redressing the natural environment the way it used to be—a dense forest.

Building a strong relationship and creating a viable ground for mutual cooperation is what the NCEW has been committed for. Thus, creating a fertile ground between counterpart unions has been among the its major activities. The role workers play in the development of economic progress in any given nation is indeed a decisive factor towards creating a strong nation.
