Submitted to the faculty as evidence of completion of a degree requirement. WPI routinely publishes these reports on its website without editorial or peer review. i Abstract The purpose of this project was to assess community Food Security and Nutrition in relation to health and development on the resettlement farms of Skoonheid and Drimiopsis in Namibia. In living with the communities and conducting group based activities, we have developed a comprehensive understanding of issues including agriculture, animal husbandry, and marketing practices. From these findings we created recommendations on how to sustainably improve the livelihoods of farm residents in addition to a pictorial manual about proper nutrition. ii Acknowledgements We would like to thank the following people and institutions: Our sponsoring agencies, The Desert Research Foundation of Namibia and the Fundación CEAR, for providing us with this research opportunity and supporting us. The Spanish Agency for International Development and the Namibian Ministry of Lands, Resettlement and Rehabilitation for funding our project.

  • Supplementary Registration of Voters of Registration Supplementary
    Electoral Commission of Namibia For free, fair and credible elections SUPPLEMENTARY REGISTRATION OF VOTERS 08 – 20 SEPTEMBER 2014 Toll free no: 081 9362 2 Message of ECN Director Register and Let Your Voice be Heard am greatly honored to inform the Namibian Electorate that the Electoral Commission of I Namibia will be conducting Supplementary Registration of Voters in all constituencies of the country from 8 – 20 September 2014. The Registration of Voters will take place at various registration points nationwide and starts from 08H00 in the morning to 19H00 in the evening, Monday to Saturday. No registration shall be done on any Sunday. The Supplementary registration of voters will be conducted for the Presidential and National Assembly Elections. This is to ensure that all eligible persons are registered and are in possession of voters’ cards in order to partake in the upcoming Presidential and National Assembly elections. An efficient voter registration system requires the population to be active in reporting changes of residency and other relevant aspects of their civil status. The Supplementary registration will thus give an opportunity to all citizens that were not able to register during the General Registration of Voters , as well as eligible voters that just turned 18 years to register to vote. The Supplementary registration will also record changes in residency and correct any errors on the electorates’ current registration cards. The Supplementary Registration of Voters is intended to ensure that all eligible citizens can exercise their right to vote during upcoming elections. Registration of voters outside Namibia Amendments made to the Electoral Act in 2009 permits the Electoral Commission of Professor Paul John Isaak Namibia to establish temporary registration points outside Namibia.

They concern the effects of foreign support on political systems and democracy itself. Finally, tyring gauge how effective support is on particular countries?

  • 11 2.2.2 Geological Description in This Chapter, General Features of Each
    Chapter 2: General Description of the Study Area 2.2.2 Geological Description In this Chapter, general features of each geological unit are presented (for more detailed description, see Chapter 4 of the Supporting Report). 1) Pre-Karoo Basement Red sandstones and shales of the Fish River Subgroup of the upper Nama Group underlie the Karoo succession throughout most of the basin. They outcrop to the west and south. They have been intersected below the Karoo in boreholes in the study area such as the deep Vreda core borehole (Wilson, 1965) and JICA test borehole No. J-9A: Klein Swartmodder (in detail, see Chapter 3 of this report and Chapter 6 of the Supporting Report). Very few of the water boreholes have been drilled through the Karoo into this in the northern basement area. 2) Karoo Sequence The Karoo Sequence in the Stampriet Artesian Basin, in terms of the SACS (1980) nomenclature, consists of a basal Dwyka Group, overlain successively by the Prince Albert Formation, the Rietmond Member and the Whitehill Member. The Rietmond Member is included as a formation at the top of the Prince Albert Formation. The Whitehill Member remains a formation on its own at the top of the succession in accordance with the 1:1 million geological map of Namibia since it overlies the Rietmond Member conformably (Heath, 1972). (1) Dwyka Group The Dwyka Group is uppermost Carboniferous to earliest Permian in age. The Dwyka Group thickens significantly to the south, being 100 m thick in the Mariental area and 210 m thick in the Asab area.

  • Scraping the Pot: Chapter 04
    Part II Geographical Analysis Photo: A Hai||om elder with Hai||om children in Etosha. Chapter 4: Omaheke Region 37 A note about the arrangement of the regional chapters The regional chapters (4-11) are arranged in a 'circular' pattern and according to the area of habitation of the different San language groups, thus this arrangement provides for some continuity in reporting on San groups whose cultures and traditional practices are the same or similar. Starting in Omaheke (Chapter 4), we move north-west and then east, ending in Caprivi (Chapter 11). Ohangwena precedes Omusati in this pattern because the San in Ohangwena are Hai||om and !Xun, as in Kunene, Oshana and Oshikoto. For ease of reference and navigation, these chapters are colour coded as indicated in the map below.
