Helping working animals in Namibia

Project name: University of Namibia

Project type: Veterinary, education and training

Location: Windhoek

SPANA is working with the University of Namibia to carry out a detailed research study into working equids in Namibian rural communities. The research is looking at the number and welfare of working equids and the role they play in these communities. The project is also investigating local people’s attitudes towards working animals and their understanding of animal welfare matters. Our newest clinical skills centre opened in the university in July 2018 and the centre is a compulsory part of fourth and fifth year studies.
