Local Innovations for Sustainable Development

Namibia in 2004 created Vision 2030 as an outline and set of goals for the government and the country’s development plans. Namibia plans to become a place of peace and prosperity. This ambition is built on the foundation of a healthy natural environment that supports systems such as improved health services, quality education, rewarding jobs and reduced inequalities.

Local innovators and developers will present their ideas and how their innovations are a contribution towards Namibia achieving the goals of Vision 2030.

Kombada Mhopenjeni from Namibia’s Ministry of Mines and Energy will moderate the discussion with the followings creators:
  1. AwehDoctor created a Smart phone application that logs and stores data relevant to tracing COVID-19 contact.
  2. Kaveto Tjatjara founded Flushh and created sanitation facilities that do not require water.
  3. Ndaudika Mulundileni and Andreas Leonard cofounded MindsInAction that promotes integrative STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) learning at school level.

The discussion will be streamed live on Facebook.
