Namibia's development strategy emphasizes local value capture using CAAPD model

A discussion on Namibia's development strategy, framed by the CAAPD (Country, Asset, Added Value, People, Distribution) model, highlights how value from resources should ideally remain within the country. The article uses a dispute involving Medical Laboratory Science students at the Namibia University of Science and Technology (NUST) as a case study to illustrate the importance of developing human capital and ensuring that corporations contribute to the local economic ecosystem. It argues that Namibia's higher education system has evolved significantly since independence, aiming to build national capability beyond just producing graduates to fostering future leaders and innovators.
