Namibia Press Agency (NAMPA) was set up through an Act of parliament of the Republic of Namibia, Act. No 3 of 1992.

The Agency has grown from a small national news agency which was producing local news only at its inception, to a regional and international news and pictures services provider.

Apart from news and information products, NAMPA also renders IT services ranging from computer hardware supplies, network installations and support services to development of editorial wire processing and digital assets management and archiving systems.
