CPA UK & Namibia

Members and staff from the Parliament of Namibia have regularly participated in CPA UK’s multilateral conferences and workshops, including its annual Westminster Seminar. However, CPA UK and Namibia relations made great strides after the visit of the Speaker of the National Assembly of Namibia, Hon. Professor Peter Katjavivi MP, to Westminster in May 2016 at which time he expressed the need for capacity building support in the National Assembly of Namibia, both for the Members and for the parliamentary administration. Later in November 2016, the Parliament of Namibia hosted the African Regional Workshop on Cybersecurity in Windhoek, the delivery of which has been coordinated by CPA UK, the Commonwealth Secretariat and the Organisation of American States.
