    Quenda continues the tradition of Polish contribution to one of the most ambitious endeavors of the Government of Angola in the field of higher education: creation from scratch of a modern maritime oriented university in Namibe in the south of the country.

    Established in 2017 as the Namibe Academy of Fishery and Marine Sciences, in 2020 it was transformed into the University of Namibe, currently numbering more than 5000 students.

    The third phase of construction and equipment of the University of Namibe envisages completion of the existing campus to attain its projected functionality. The project consists of two major types of elements: construction of new facilities and services.

    The construction part includes design, construction and equipment of buildings, which are deemed essential for the academic community such as: library, auditory and offices for lecturers, canteen, clinic and sports centre along with expansion of the general infrastructure.
