About:
The Joint Declaration by Germany and Namibia (2021) is a reconciliation agreement addressing the 1904-1908 Herero-Nama genocide during German colonial rule. Germany officially recognized the genocide and agreed to fund 1.1 billion euros worth of Namibian projects over 30 years. However, the funds are described as “grants” rather than “reparations”, and many Indigenous leaders criticized their exclusion from negotiations. The agreement remains unratified.
