PARTY progress reviewed

Ambassador Anne Saloranta has expressed delight at the combined effort rendered by stakeholders to address issues and challenges faced by the San communities. Addressing delegates attending the event of a midterm progress of the “Participatory Tools for Human Development with the Youth” (PARTY) project, Saloranta said it is line with the Finnish Government development policy to promote the rights of the most vulnerable and marginalised people. “I am delighted to see that the issues and challenges that the San communities are facing in Southern Africa are addressed by different stakeholders, organisations and at different levels of cooperation,” Saloranta said. Saloranta added that by combining ideas and expertise not only from Finland and Namibia, but also from Italy, United Kingdom and South Africa, the project can surely reach its objectives. The Namibia University of Science and Technology (Nust) is one of the southern Africa host partners whose contribution is based on expertise in community-based technology development. At the ceremony, Nust Vice-Chancellor Tjama Tjivikua said Nust strives to create innovative and sustainable solutions to national and international challenges facing the different sectors by involving the respective stakeholders. “The Party project under the leadership of the University of Lapland is yet another milestone in our international collaboration circle,” said Tjivikua. The Party project is an international multi-stakeholder initiative under the leadership of the University of Lapland and is funded by the European Union's Horizon 2020 Research and Innovation Framework programme.
