For over a decade the partnership has facilitated the successful delivery of outcomes across a broad and diverse range of research, education, and health projects, addressing social and health inequalities, climate change, water resilience, and the protection of heritage and cultural assets.

Established in 1992, the University of Namibia (UNAM) has 17 schools based within 4 faculties, across 12 campuses located in the North and South of Namibia and its capital, Windhoek, offering a variety of undergraduate and post graduate programmes which include a range of health professions and veterinary science, engineering, business, and law.  UNAM has over 30,000 students and over 2,000 staff, making it the largest tertiary institution in Namibia.

Our partnership with UNAM continues to expand, deepening our networks with Namibia and across the African continent, bringing together shared interests, increasing research capacity, and supporting reciprocity and innovation.
