Delegation of the European Union to Namibia

EEAS
The European Union plays an important role in international affairs through diplomacy, trade, development aid and working with global organizations.

The Lisbon Treaty (2009) led to major developments in the area of external action, with the creation of the post of High Representative of the Union for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy, and the establishment of the EU's diplomatic arm, the European External Action Service (EEAS). The network of EU delegations around the world is part of the EEAS structure. EU Delegation
European Union (EU) Del

egations are the backbone of the European Union’s External Service. Currently there are more than 120 EU Delegations serving the interests of the European Union, both in third countries and to International Organizations (OECD, OSCE, UN, and WTO). The role of the EU Delegations has dramatically increased over the past years, as management responsibilities have been progressively transferred from Headquarters to EU Delegations. This devolution exercise is part of a reform process aimed to improve the efficiency of the EU external assistance. EU Delegations operate within the framework and political guidelines set-up by Headquarters in Brussels and must work very closely with the EuropeAid Development and Cooperation Office, in charge of implementing the external aid instruments, funded by the European Community budget and the European Development Fund. The Role of the Delegation to the Republic of Namibia
The Delegation was established at independence of the country in 1990, under the Third Lomé Convention - one in a series of treaties which defined the relationship between the European Union and the African, Caribbean and Pacific (ACP) countries, of which Namibia is a member. The Lomé Conventions, were succeeded by the Cotonou Agreement, signed in Cotonou, Benin in 2000. The partnership between the ACP and the European Union (formally known as the European Community) concerns political, economic and trade relations and aims at assisting in the development of the ACP countries. The Delegation is in particular responsible for the co-ordination and monitoring of the development cooperation programmes financed by the European Commission – either through the EU budget or the European Development Fund (EDF). It works closely with Government Agencies (and intergovernmental agencies such as the SACU secretariat) to implement projects and strategies in the framework of the Lomé and Cotonou Agreements. The Delegation represents the European Commission in all matters, informing on all activities of the Commission and keeping its headquarters in Brussels abreast of significant local developments. It works closely with the EU Member States in Namibia, and in particular, the country representing the EU Presidency. It also co-operates and co-ordinates activities with representatives of non-EU Member States and multilateral organizations. Projects: The EU delegation to Namibia has implemented projects on a great variety of topics
- The environment and the sustainable management of natural resources
- Governance, democracy, human rights and support for economic and institutional reforms
- Human development
- Multi-sectors
- Rural development, territorial planning, agriculture and food security
- Social cohesion and employment
- Water and energy

🇪🇺🇺🇦 Stand with Ukraine

As we approach the Namibian winter months, we are reminded of the devastating impact of Russia’s attacks on Ukraine’s civilian energy system, violating international law.

⚫ 247 energy workers killed
⚫ Over 900 strikes on the national electricity operator
⚫ 9 GW of generating capacity damaged
⚫ Millions of Ukrainians left without electricity

Behind these figures are families forced to endure harsh winter conditions without reliable heat, light & essential services.

The EU and its Member States have stood with Ukraine through every winter of the war, providing emergency support to keep cities lit and homes warm.

Ukraine needs our solidarity and support more than ever.

Global temperatures are reported to have briefly reached levels around the 1.5°C benchmark compared to pre-industrial averages. This threshold is commonly used in climate science to monitor long-term global warming trends. Energy systems remain closely linked to global developments, including changes in markets and supply conditions that can affect prices and stability.

Over the past decades, the EU has reduced emissions significantly, while also expanding renewable energy and growing its economy. The transition continues, shaped by climate goals, energy needs, and ongoing economic change.

Reliable. And that’s the whole point.
