   There are many reasons for lack of software development of any kind in Namibia, compared to a country like South Africa.  Some of the reasons are:

• Namibia is a young country, less than a decade old.  As such, the country is still in its developing stages.
• Namibia has less skilled labor in general, especially those with technology and telecommunications skills.  Approximately 55% of the population over 20 years of age have no secondary school education.  (1)
