Our Association

The Engineering Professions Association of Namibia (EPA) is a non-profit, voluntary membership association of engineering and related professionals in Namibia. EPA has since September 1992 been a full member of the Commonwealth Engineers' Council, London, UK.

Our Aim

The Association strives to uphold excellence in the field of engineering by promoting the image of the engineering profession and the continuing education and common interests of its members.

Engineers, engineering technologists and technicians have traditionally played a major role in Namibia, as witnessed by the excellent infrastructure relating to - among others - transport, telecommunications, power supply, and water supply. With the independence of Namibia in 1990, a greater emphasis has been placed on the effective utilisation of scarce resources, the maintenance of existing infrastructure, and sustainable development with due regard to the protection of the environment. The engineering profession has a crucial role to play in this regard, and the Association aims to act as a facilitator towards fulfilling this role.
