Reforming Land Tenure for the Reduction of Vulnerability Against Global Change Reforming Land Tenure for the Reduction of Vulnerability against Global Change: A Case Study in the Omusati Region, Namibia MASTER THESIS TO GAIN THE MASTER OF SCIENCE DEGREE (M.SC.) IN GLOBAL CHANGE MANAGEMENT AT THE UNIVERSITY OF APPLIED SCIENCES EBERSWALDE , GERMANY PRESENTED BY ANNEMONE HMIELORZ SUPERVISOR : PROF . DR. PIERRE IBISCH 1ST EVALUATOR : PROF . DR. PIERRE IBISCH 2ND EVALUATOR : DIPL . BIOL . CHRISTOPH NOWICKI BERLIN , 4TH FEBRUARY 2011 ACKNOWLEDGEMENT Acknowledgement This thesis would not have been accomplished without the help, assistance and encouragement of various people and institutions. First of all I would like to thank GTZ Namibia for the comprehensive logistical and technical support during the preparation and conduction of the case study. Particularly, I would like to thank Christian Graefen, Sonja Berdau, Martin Neumann and Tanja Pickardt for their great support. A very special thanks also goes to my supervisors, Professor Pierre Ibisch and Christoph Nowicki, whose expertise and understanding added considerably higher professional value to this thesis. Thank you for the inspiring and interesting discussions on the topic and for motivating and encouraging me in not losing my focus. This thesis also benefited from a wide range of information by small-scale farmers in the Omusati Region as well as the insights and helpful comments of experts such as Maria Kasita (MLR), Gabriel Indombo (MLR), Marcel Meijs (CIM) and Frank Gschwender (GTZ). I also extend my gratefulness to them for giving me their valuable time and views during individual interviews. For all the logistical support during the field study in the Northern Central Region in Namibia I would like to thank Beata Xulu (GTZ Oshakati), Werner Mbongo (GTZ Oshakati), Ernst Mbangula (GTZ Oshakati), Silvanus K. Uunona (IBMC), Peter Endjambi (Regional Councillor of Oshikuku Constituency), Elifas Ampueja (Small-scale farmer in Onashitendo), Mother General Magdalena and Sister Cecilia from Benedictine Guest House in Oshikuku and Veremunda Johannes (Secretary of Headman in Omagalanga). I also would like to thank Ndapanda Ampueja and Kirsti Hamunime; without their support as interpreters it would not have been possible to interview small-scale farmers in Onashitendo and Omagalanga. Furthermore, I want to thank my friends Patricia Brtnik, Peter Breaux, Franziska Meissner and Sabine Winkler who supported me by introducing new perspectives and ideas, providing constrictive criticism as well as dedicating time for reading and correcting. Finally, I would especially like to express my gratitude to my parents who supported and motivated me in all ways to finalize this thesis.

More products such as carrots, potatoes, mangoes, lemons, spinach, cow peas and potatoes may be produced as the demand dictates. The long-term objective of the project is to become the main horticulture producer in the North Central Regions of Namibia. The project has a leadership committee made up of the members who oversee the day to day running of the project operations. The current committee members are: I. Ms. Irja Malima: Chairperson II.

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.
