GIZ Namibia

About us

The Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) GmbH has been working in Namibia since 1990 and opened an office in the capital Windhoek in 1994.
Protecting and making sustainable use of Namibia’s biodiversity will be key to the country’s economic and social development. Climate change is having a severe impact on nature conservation areas and neighbouring zones as well as smallholdings: farmland, water resources and areas worthy of protection are all disappearing. Nature conservation and agriculture in Namibia must be made more sustainable and resilient in order to protect the environment.
GIZ is supporting the environmentally sustainable use of natural resources with the aim of protecting the environment, adapting agriculture to the effects of climate change and making more use of bush biomass in order to open up new sources of income and regenerate farmland. Improved standards are also helping to protect the environment.
