Director of Research and Innovation at the Ministry of Higher Education, Technology, and Innovation (MHETI), Dr. Lisho Mundia, says that the Namibian government has long recognised the importance that biotechnology plays in national development, poverty alleviation, and as a catalyst for sustainable economic development.
The government thus, through the MHETI and technical assistance from the Namibian Biotechnology Alliance (NABA), developed the National Biotechnology Policy in 1999.
