𝐃𝐫. 𝐋𝐚𝐢𝐧𝐚 𝐌𝐛𝐨𝐧𝐠𝐨’𝐬 𝐣𝐨𝐮𝐫𝐧𝐞𝐲 𝐭𝐨 𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐬𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐦 𝐍𝐚𝐦𝐢𝐛𝐢𝐚’𝐬 𝐝𝐢𝐞𝐭 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐡𝐞𝐚𝐥𝐭𝐡 𝐥𝐚𝐧𝐝𝐬𝐜𝐚𝐩𝐞 Amid the rising challenges of non-communicable diseases (NCDs) in Namibia, Dr. Laina Mbongo (31) is forging pathways towards healthier futures. Born into a family of 10 in the small village of Ofudheni, Oshana Region, Laina’s academic journey began with modest dreams shaped by the limited career paths known in her community – primarily teaching and nursing. “From childhood, it has always been my dream to be a scientist,” Dr. Mbongo recalls. Her journey in science was ignited at Mweshipandeka High School and further fuelled at UNAM, where her passion for science blossomed into a profound commitment to public health.

A team from the Association of African Universities #ICT is participating in the Middle East Domain Name System (DNS) Forum (MEDNSF) which is bringing together experts and interested parties to discuss the latest developments in the global domain marketplace and ways to strengthen the DNS industry in the Middle East. The Forum in #Rabat #Morocco is offering opportunities to learn about new developments in DNS-related standards and technologies, better understand ICANN’s role in shaping the future of the Internet, and discover how everyone can be a part of it. In simple terms the Domain Name System (DNS) is the phonebook of the Internet. We access information online through domain names, like aau.org or gmail.com. We interact through Internet Protocol (IP) addresses. The DNS translates domain names to IP addresses so we can load Internet pages / resources.
