Japan has, to date, dispatched more than 100 teachers across different schools, while the construction of additional classrooms in Namibia continues.

Funded through Japan's "Grant Assistance for Grassroots Projects' programme, Namibia has been a beneficiary of school buildings and around 300 classrooms since 1997.

Japan's Ambassador to Namibia provided an update on this and other matters of mutual concern between the two countries to President Nangolo Mbumba at State House.

Japan also wants to strengthen cooperation in the agriculture sector, principally in crop production, and help small-scale farmers become market-oriented.

For this reason, Japan has been providing support through programmes such as the Northern Namibia Small-Scale Framers' Livelihood Enhancement Project, implemented from 2020 to 2026.

Regions such as Zambezi, Kavango West, and Kavango East are the latest priority areas.

Namibia and Japan are also collaborating on the Rice and Mahangu Project, advancing the growth of wetland rice at UNAM's Ogongo Campus.
