between the Research Institute for Innovation and Sustainability (RIIS) in South
Africa, the National Business Technology Centre (NTBC) in Zambia, Eduardo
Mondlane University (UEM) in Mozambique and the University of Namibia.

The University of Namibia, furthermore, has several international agreements

USA (University of Washington, University of California San Francisco), South
Africa (Stellenbosch University) and Kenya (Jomo Kenyatta University of
Agriculture and Technology) and several universities in Germany.

consultancies to the broader Namibian public. The Centre for Professional
Development and Teaching and Learning Improvement, for instance,
continued its support to the regional directorates of education to further
entrench and institutionalise the decentralised model of CPD which was
adopted by the Ministry of Education. The Sam Nujoma Campus also makes
a significant contribution towards the fishing industry through research
and working with communities. These are but a few examples of UNAM’s
