WHO WE ARE
The Chamber is an umbrella body established to represent and support the environment sector in Namibia, particularly the non-governmental and private components that are working in support of the environment. We currently have a membership of 44 organisations, well over 90% of all environmental NGOs in Namibia. OUR VISION
NCE`s ultimate aim is to provide support and enhance the capacity of environmental NGOs in Namibia to be more effective, individually and collectively, and thereby contribute to fulfilling the environmental clauses in Namibia’s Constitution, namely the “maintenance of ecosystems, essential ecological processes and biological diversity of Namibia and utilisation of living natural resources on a sustainable basis for the benefit of all Namibians, both present and future”. ADVOCACY
The Chamber works closely with government and the private sector, to enhance Namibia’s environmental management and sustainable development capacity, but also to highlight areas of concern and work to find solutions. SUPPORT
We implement projects that provide support across the whole sector, including:
-environmental policy research,
-national facilitation (e.g. arranging conferences, symposia),
-mentoring young Namibians
FUNDRAISING
We look for new and additional areas to raise funds, through corporate Namibia – via the mining and business sectors – and make those funds available to Members for good projects across Namibia. FUTURE DREAMS
The NCE is in the process of establishing an online grant making tool, whereby Members can submit a request to us for funding. A note on what we DON`T do
We do not compete with our Members either in the implementation of projects or in the raising of funding.
