What is the IPPR?

The Institute for Public Policy Research was established in 2001 as a not-for-profit organisation with a mission to deliver, independent, analytical, critical yet constructive research on social, political and economic issues which affect development Namibia. The IPPR was established in the belief that development is best promoted through free and critical debate informed by quality research. The IPPR is independent of government, political parties, business, trade unions and other interest groups and is governed by a board of directors consisting of Monica Koep (chairperson), Graham Hopwood, Ndiitah Nghipondoka-Robiati, Daniel Motinga, Justin Ellis and Michael Humavindu. Anyone can receive the IPPR’s research free of charge by contacting the organisation at 70-72 Frans Indongo Street, Windhoek; PO Box 6566, Windhoek; tel: (061) 240514; fax (061) 240516; email: [email protected].
