Namibia Launches National Drive to Build Verified IT Talent Database

Namibia Launches National Drive to Build Verified IT Talent Database. The Government of the Republic of Namibia has issued a public call inviting individuals and organizations across the country’s Information Technology (IT) ecosystem to participate in the creation of a validated national IT talent database.

This initiative seeks collaboration from both public and private sector entities, self-employed IT professionals, tertiary institutions, and other stakeholders in the digital space. The objective is to map existing expertise and build a structured understanding of the country’s digital capabilities.

The talent database aims to support Namibia’s broader digital transformation agenda. By gathering verified information about professionals and organizations active in the IT sector, the government plans to identify gaps, align training efforts, and improve coordination for future capacity-building initiatives.

According to the announcement, stakeholders are encouraged to fill out a short form accessible via this link: https://forms.gle/7hyxCdeqZ9MTAcGe7. The form is designed to capture basic yet critical details that will contribute to a comprehensive view of IT skills across Namibia.

This move reflects Namibia’s intention to foster more cohesive development in digital infrastructure, innovation, and workforce readiness. It also provides a platform for professionals and institutions to be part of national strategies shaping the future of technology in the country.
