Four public library trainers from Namibia who recently attended EIFL training in performance and outcome evaluation will pass on their knowledge and skills to their colleagues within the Namibia Library and Archives Service (NLAS) network of 65 public libraries.

The newly-skilled trainers are Jacob Muleka (Oshana Region), Vicky Isaacs (NLAS), Shando Sinvula (Zambezi Region) and Katrina Shikuni (Ohangwena Region). They were selected from a group of Namibian librarians chosen to learn training skills as part of a major initiative to build a corps of trainers within the NLAS network. The initiative aims to strengthen continued professional development of public librarians in Namibia.

The trainees include public librarians from all of Namibia’s 14 regions. The workshop takes place over two days.
