Friedrich Ebert Stiftung

Welcome to FES Namibia

The Friedrich-Ebert-Stiftung (FES) is the oldest of Germany’s ‘political foundations‘ and committed to the basic values of social democracy and the labour movement.

As a private, non-profit educational institution, ‘think tank’ and platform for political dialogue, its mission is to promote democracy, development, social justice and peace through capacity-building, policy research, public dialogue and international exchange.

FES carries out its international activities through a network of currently about 100 offices world-wide, in combination with its headquarters in Berlin and Bonn/Germany and in close co-operation with its local and international partners.

The FES office in Namibia was established in 1989 on the eve of the Namibian independence. At present it is staffed with one expatriate and six local full-time employees. (Read more….)
