Strengthening Judicial Capacity Through Magistrates’ Induction Training

From 22 to 26 June 2026, KAS will support an Induction Training Programme for newly appointed magistrates in Windhoek, organised by the Office of the Judiciary. The training aims to equip magistrates with the knowledge, skills, and ethical foundation required to effectively carry out their important role within Namibia’s justice system. The programme will cover a wide range of topics, including ethics and leadership, court administration, sentencing, civil and criminal procedure, child protection, domestic violence, maintenance matters, and access to justice. Participants will also engage with experienced judicial officers and legal practitioners, creating opportunities for professional learning and peer exchange. As one of Namibia’s key democratic institutions, the Judiciary plays a vital role in upholding the rule of law and protecting the rights of all citizens. Through this partnership, KAS reaffirms its commitment to strengthening democratic institutions and supporting initiatives that contribute to an accessible, efficient, and trusted justice system for all Namibians.
