Abstract

Science, Technology, and Innovation (STI) play a key role in achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The Joint Research Centre (JRC) and the Directorate General for International Partnerships (DG INTPA) of the European Commission joined forces launching the project on STI for Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) Roadmaps in Africa. The report lays the foundation for STI for SDGs roadmap in Namibia with the focus on the challenge to mobilise research and innovation to increase resilience of rural communities to climate change, considering the localised challenges of the water-food-energy nexus and the role of indigenous knowledge. The report identifies areas for further investment in STI and proposes policy and governance mechanisms to increase impact of innovation in the challenge area. This report is based on stakeholder workshop and interviews and the desk study. The work has been undertaken in collaboration between JRC and the Ministry of Higher Education, Technology and Innovation (MHETI) and the National Commission on Research, Science and Technology (NCRST) of Namibia.
