These sectoral efforts can combine to enable citizens, through organised civil society groups, to hold Theunis Keulder government accountable and exercise voice. Regional Director After independence in 1990 in Namibia, the first democratically elected Government realized the importance of citizen participation based on the role that citizens had played in liberating the country. Government acknowledged the critical role of civil society in development and the reconstruction of the country; as a result, a policy of partnership in development between government and civil society in Namibia was developed. Opportunities exist for Namibia civil society organizations to co-operate in Government programs and influence national policies and promote development, thereby actively supporting broad strategies for long-term national development as contained in Vision 2030 and the achievement of Millennium Development Goals.

University of Cape Town i SOUTH WEST AFRICA/NAMIBIA ISSUES RELATED TO POLITICAL INDEPENDENCE This dissertation constitutes a study of all issues rele- vant to South West Africa/Namibian independence, from 1915 to June 1983. The method employed is primarily of a descrip- tive, histcirical and analytical nature, which brings together in a concise study a variety of primary research materials, particularly with extensive use of newspaper resources. Due to the limited available material on South West Africa/ Namibia, it was necessary to rely upon these journalistic sources to a large extent. It was, therefore, necessary to assume that: • 1. newspaper references are correct and valid, and that articles by relevant authorities and political figures are a true expression of the writers' political beliefs; 2. that in terms of books, journals and other published materials in relation to South West Africa/Namibia, the facts have been accurately researched and verified, and 3.
