“The joint projects undertaken by ICEIDA and the Ministry of Education over the past few years have created such a momentum of change that it will hardly be stopped. Already, responsibilities of many of the project components have been transferred to Namibian organisations and agencies,” said Dr Vilhjalmur Wiium ICEIDA's Country Director in Namibia at the end of a two days conference in Namibia that was organised to discuss educational matters and employment opportunities of the Deaf. He was asked asked whether progress in the education of the Deaf will stop after the closure of ICEIDA´s office in Namibia at the end of the year.
