: The Department of Psychology at the University of Namibia (UNam) sponsored an application for local ethical clearance, in particular, they helped us to get in touch with the local ethical committee and supported us in the procedure by endorsing our proposal that was subsequently granted. The project addresses topics of limited local relevance to current researchers at UNam, as the UNam psychology department focuses mostly on clinical and industrial psychology. Therefore, no local researchers were interested in being involved, and there were no capacity-building initiatives requested by UNam. The study involved simple perceptual tasks and posed no risk of stigma to the participants. The research was conducted in Namibia, deemed a safe location, with extensive safety measures and experienced supervision. Professor Serge Caparos, co-author of the present article, is part of an international network aiming to foster local collaborations in the future.
