dc.description.abstractStrengthening Gender and Inclusivity in Science, Technology and Innovation (STI) highlights the contextual factors driving disparities in STI in Namibia. Women and girls, in particular adolescent girls continue to experience gender-based violence, teenage pregnancy, and restrictive socio-cultural norms limiting full exercise of human and women’s rights. Key gender indicators and contributing factors are provided in Table 1. Namibia has adopted the National Gender Policy (2010-2020), which aims to steer actions toward integrating and mainstreaming gender perspectives in the broader development framework.en
