Full Statement

In recent years, with more open data platforms such as GEO and tools available to store and process satellite imagery, EO data have become widely accessible and usable in Namibia, especially for research and decision making related to climate change. Furthermore, encouraged by GEO and the GEO Member Community, Namibia as a country has developed the National Space Science and Technology Policy of 2021, aimed to guide the use of space resources to contribute towards the socio-economic growth and development of Namibia.
