The Impact of the Community-Based Rehabilitation Strategy on People with Disabilities and Their Families: a Case of the Oniipa Constituency, Namibia THE IMPACT OF THE COMMUNITY-BASED REHABILITATION STRATEGY ON PEOPLE WITH DISABILITIES AND THEIR FAMILIES: A CASE OF THE ONIIPA CONSTITUENCY, NAMIBIA by Mr. Christopher Lubinda Mukumbuta Submitted in accordance with the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF PUBLIC ADMINISTRATION at the University of South Africa Supervisor: Ms. Marleen Rolland Date: January 2018 DECLARATION Name : Mr. Christopher Lubinda Mukumbuta Student Number : 39592332 Degree : Master of Public Administration Title: The impact of the community-based rehabilitation strategy on people with disabilities and their families: A case of the Oniipa Constituency, Namibia I declare that this dissertation is my own work and that all the sources that I have used or quoted have been indicated and acknowledged by means of complete references. I also declare that this research paper was submitted only to the University of South Africa in partial fulfilment of the requirements to obtain a degree of Master of Public Administration, in the faculty of Management Sciences, Department of Public Administration and Management. ii ABSTRACT Community-based Rehabilitation (CBR) emerged as a response to the failure of the conventional rehabilitation system in developing countries. CBR involves service provision to People with Disabilities (PWDs), changing community attitudes towards disability and transferring knowledge and skills to PWDs, their families and their community. The study investigated the impact of the CBR strategy on PWDs and their families within the Oniipa Constituency in Namibia. The study used a mixed methods research approach and adopted explorative and descriptive research designs. It determined that CBR has initiated positive change processes in community attitudes and increased social integration of PWDs. The study recommends reviewing the definition of CBR, providing financial incentives to CBR Volunteer Workers and reviewing the current legislations on disability in Namibia. A final recommendation is that government should formalise disability studies in the country through the provision of accredited training courses to ensure greater assistance to PWDs and their families. KEY TERMS: People with disabilities, community-based rehabilitation, disability, empowerment, impairment, marginalisation and rehabilitation. iii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Since this report is the result of the collective contribution and support of many people, I would like to acknowledge the efforts made by the following individuals and committees. 1. Firstly, I would like to glorify the name of the Almighty God for protecting and enabling me to complete my research project. 2. I wish also to recognise the valued support of my research supervisor, Mrs. Marleen Rolland at the University of South Africa (UNISA). She assisted me throughout the research process and her guidance and leadership will remain a great source of inspiration in my future learning journey. 3. My appreciation also goes to Ms. Lempie Mwatala, the Rehabilitation Coordinator for affording me an opportunity to conduct my research at ELCIN Rehabilitation Centre at Oniipa. Her support will remain a token of appreciation and remembrance forever. 4. Equally, I wish to express my appreciation to the Department of Public Administration and Management Research Review Committee for approving my Research Ethics Application for conducting research. Without an Ethical Clearance Certificate, it is practically impossible for the researcher to conduct research that involves human subjects. 5. I will be failing in my duties if I cannot recognise the moral and financial support provided to me by my beloved wife, Mrs. Bardiina Bennakie Mukumbuta. She motivated me to study even during the difficult times. I therefore express my profound gratitude to her and the children for enabling me to celebrate my academic achievement. 6. Finally, I wish to express my profound appreciation to the leadership and management of Oshikoto Regional Council for partly funding my studies. The financial assistance I received encouraged me to study hard and pass all coursework subjects during my first year. Keep up this good work, Oshikoto Regional Council, and God will reward you for it. iv LIST OF ABBREVIATIONS CBR Community-Based Rehabilitation CBRVWs Community-Based Rehabilitation Volunteer Workers

  • Hiv/Aids and Science Education in Namibian Secondary
    1 HIV/AIDS AND SCIENCE EDUCATION IN NAMIBIAN SECONDARY SCHOOLS A DISSERTATION SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY (SCIENCE EDUCATION) OF THE UNIVERSITY OF NAMIBIA BY KAZHILA CROFFAT CHINSEMBU November 2010 Main supervisor: Prof. C.D. Kasanda Co-supervisors: Dr. D. Zealand; Dr. C.N. Shimwooshili-Shaimemanya 2 ABSTRACT Previous studies alluded to the impacts of HIV/AIDS on education in Namibia. While such studies implied that secondary school science education was under the threat of Human Immuno-deficiency Virus/Acquired Immuno-Deficiency Syndrome (HIV/AIDS), there was a paucity of disaggregated and empirical data that spoke to the specific linkages between HIV/AIDS and secondary school science education. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to elucidate the HIV/AIDS impacts, risk factors, and knowledge gaps among secondary school science teachers and learners in Namibia. The study also analysed the pedagogical and ecological factors related to HIV/AIDS education in Namibian secondary schools. A quantitative research approach was mainly utilised in this cross-sectional survey of science teachers and learners. Using a three-stage cluster sample design, eighteen secondary schools from six education regions were randomly selected. Life Science/Biology learners and teachers formed the tertiary sampling units. Separate questionnaires were completed by 829 learners and 61 teachers, respectively. Data were analysed using non-parametric and parametric statistics. The results revealed low putative HIV/AIDS-related losses of science teachers and learners. Coping with HIV/AIDS was significantly associated with absenteeism, stress, lack of concentration, and poor performance in class. Learners’ high risks to HIV infection were evidenced by their early age of coital debut, high sexual activity, multiple sexual partners, transactional and intergenerational sex, low condom use, and pregnancies.

Migration is a powerful driver of population change and can have important consequence of economic, political and social changes. Because of its great impact on societies, migration needs to be adequately measured and understood. Reliable statistical data is the key to the basic understanding of this important demographic phenomenon. Yet in many countries, including Na- mibia, statistics on migration are incomplete, out-of-date or do not exist. Improvement in this area requires knowledge of the principles of collecting, compiling and analysing migration statistics. Migration is one of the three factors that affect population size of a particular geographic area, the other factors are fertility and- mor tality. Analytical reports on the situations of fertility and mortality are presented in separate reports which were released in 2014. The migration report provides information on internal and international migration covering both lifetime and short term migrants based on 2011 census data. Thus, report presents evidences on the migration patterns in Namibia to assist policy makers, planners and researchers in the formulation of national development programmes, as well as monitoring and evaluating implementation of national pro- grams.

Preparation of Cabinet Agenda Of late, the Prime Minister has noticed that some of the Cabinet Memoranda referred to the Cabinet Office for placement on Cabinet Agenda do not conform to the requirements set out in the Cabinet Handbook. As a result, there is marked increase in the incidence of issues referred back from the Cabinet. In order to avoid such instances, all Permanent Secretaries should - ensure that Cabinet Memoranda submitted to the Cabinet Office are prepared in conformity with the provisions set out in the Cabinet Handbook. Specifically, the Permanent Secretaries should ensure that: 1. Cabinet Memoranda are prepared after the necessary consultation with the various ministries or offices affected by or having an interest in the issues being referred to the Cabinet for decision; 2. the Memoranda are unambiguous. They must be very specific as to the Cabinet decisions being sought. This requires that the Memoranda must contain specific recommendations -- it is not sufficient merely to present a problem to the Cabinet for a decision without proposing course of action or actions; and - 3.

I feel indebted to many. I feel like having walked a long way, meeting many who walked alongside with me and many who, while providing me valuable information, encouraged me with their knowledge to walk ahead. First of all I want to thank my two employers for giving me a chance to conduct field re- search in Namibia: The Finnish Evangelical Lutheran Mission and The Evangelical Lutheran Church in Namibia. I am grateful to all my colleagues, friends and church members in Na- mibia for providing me an inspirational environment for this research and offering multiple opportunities to collect data by partaking in church life. Particularly I feel indebted to the Reverends Eliakim Shaanika, Alpo Enkono, Linus Dama Shimakeleni, Teofilus Nelumbu, Ms Namene Kuugonglewa, Dr David Iileka, Dr Martin Ngodji and Dr Paulus Ndamanomhata for interesting discussions that, if not directly contributing to my research, broadened my un- derstanding on church life and Christianity in Namibia.
