These were the first Summer Paralympics to be held since the country's accession to independence from South Africa in 1990, and thus the first Games in which Namibia was able to take part.

For its inaugural participation, the country sent just two athletes, both women, who both competed in discus, javelin and shot put.

Johanna Benson, at the time Namibia's only female athlete, won the 200 meter race in her division.
