The project is a part of the bilateral development cooperation programme between Finland and Namibia, implemented by the Department of Water Affairs (DWA) of the Ministry of Agriculture, Water and Rural Development (MAWRD), with development assistance services provided by Finnconsult Oy. Scheduled project duration is from March 1992 until the end of 1996. The main purpose for the study has been to investigate environmental conditions in Ohangwena Region and north-central Owambo, particularly issues related to water supply and sanitation development and the activities of the project, and on the basis of these investigations prepare recommendations concerning prevention and mitigation of adverse environmental impacts as well as possibilities of environmental enhancement through project activities. The findings and recommendations of the EIA Study will be taken into consideration during preparation of-a Water Supply Development Plan for Ohangwena Region, scheduled to be finalized dunng 1995. Since the project is mainly concentrating on institutional development, training and community mobilization, there are very limited adverse impacts on the biophysical environment in the project area, arising from physical upgrading and construction activities undertaken by the project. The most important environmental consequences of the WSSPOR project are related to the Water Supply Development Plan, which is being prepared by DWA with assistance from the project. A summary of recommendations, altogether 12 main recommendations, is presented in Chapter 11. The most important finding of the study is that water supply development is a major factor determining settlement patterns and densities of human and livestock populations within the region. Due to semi-arid climate and rather poor sandy soils, the region is vulnerable to environmental degradation caused by overutiUzation of natural resources by people and livestock. The process of land degradation and deforestation F/NNCONSUL T 0 V WATER SUPPLYAND SANITATION PROJECT IN OHANGWENA REGION, NAMIBIA DRAFT REPORT No. 1 ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTASSESSMENT S ruov OCTOBER 1994 have already reached alarming dimensions in Ohangwena Region and many other densely populated parts of Owambo. Therefore it is of utmost importance that the numerous sectoral development activities being implemented within the region, particularly improvements of water supply, should be sufficiently coordinated with a strong emphasis on the carrying capacity of land, natural vegetation and water resources. This need for coordination and consideration of environmental sustainabihty calls for the preparation of an overall regional land-use plan to guide future developments of water supply infrastructure as well as other development efforts within the region. Although legal and institutional frameworks for land-use planning and control are not yet sufficiently established at the central government level, there are no major institutional constraints for the starting of the process to prepare an interim overall land-use plan for Ohangwena region. The sooner this process can be started the better.

The project is implemented by the Department of Water Affairs (DWA) within the Ministry of Agriculture, Water and Rural Development (MAWRD), and scheduled duration is from March 1992 until the end of 1996. Consultancy services for project implementation are provided by Finnconsult Dy The project area, comprising totally about 3 880 km2 with a population of about 125 000, consists of the western and central parts of Ohangwena administrative region in the densely populated northern parts of the country (former Owambo Region). The project area extends in the north to the border between Namibia and Angola, and it is transected by the main northern trunk road from Ondangwa to Oshikango and Angola. Climatically Ohangwena region is semi-arid, and its natural environment has generally a rather low population carrying capacity. The majority of the rural population is practiciing traditional subsistenace agriculture with livestoock husbandry as an important component. A major constraint to human life in the region

    CRITICAL GEOPOLITICS OF FOREIGN INVOLVEMENT IN NAMIBIA: A MIXED METHODS APPROACH by MEREDITH JOY DEBOOM B.A., University of Iowa, 2009 A thesis submitted to the Faculty of the Graduate School of the University of Colorado in partial fulfillment of the requirement for the degree of Masters of Arts Department of Geography 2013 This thesis entitled: Critical Geopolitics of Foreign Involvement in Namibia: A Mixed Methods Approach written by Meredith Joy DeBoom has been approved for the Department of Geography John O’Loughlin, Chair Joe Bryan, Committee Member Date The final copy of this thesis has been examined by the signatories, and we find that both the content and the form meet acceptable presentation standards of scholarly work in the above mentioned discipline. iii Abstract DeBoom, Meredith Joy (M.A., Geography) Critical Geopolitics of Foreign Involvement in Namibia: A Mixed Methods Approach Thesis directed by Professor John O’Loughlin In May 2011, Namibia’s Minister of Mines and Energy issued a controversial new policy requiring that all future extraction licenses for “strategic” minerals be issued only to state-owned companies. The public debate over this policy reflects rising concerns in southern Africa over who should benefit from globally-significant resources. The goal of this thesis is to apply a critical geopolitics approach to create space for the consideration of Namibian perspectives on this topic, rather than relying on Western geopolitical and political discourses. Using a mixed methods approach, I analyze Namibians’ opinions on foreign involvement, particularly involvement in natural resource extraction, from three sources: China, South Africa, and the United States.
