UNDP Namibia

Regional cooperation is key to safeguarding our shared marine resources.

Through our longstanding partnership with the Benguela Current Convention - BCC Secretariat, UNDP Namibia is supporting stronger ocean governance, sustainable fisheries, marine conservation and climate resilience across the Benguela Current Large Marine Ecosystem.

Together, we are advancing marine spatial planning, strengthening scientific capacity and supporting efforts to combat Illegal, Unreported and Unregulated (IUU) fishing, helping to secure livelihoods, food security and a thriving blue economy for present and future generations.

UNDP Namibia is honoured to have joined local leaders and partners at the official opening of the Association of Local Authorities in Namibia (ALAN) Congress.

Strong local governance is central to delivering sustainable development and building resilient, inclusive communities.

Together, we are accelerating progress towards the Sustainable Development Goals.

🌍 The Earth is speaking. Let's answer with action.

Restore forests. Protect oceans. Accelerate clean energy. Every action sends a signal.

In 2025, UNDP Namibia continued advancing sustainable development through innovative partnerships, climate action, and inclusive growth initiatives across the country.

Together, we are helping build a more resilient and prosperous Namibia.
