The percentage of female researchers in Namibia has increased from 39% in 2014 to 50% in 2022.

The Research Services Center Director at UNAM says the findings are an indication that national programs targeting girls are creating a positive impact in society.

Preliminary findings in the 2022 National Research and Experimental Development Report show that the number of researchers in Namibia has increased.

There were about 750 in 2014, compared to over 2,500 researchers in 2022.
