Muesee Kazapua MAYOR t is my honour and privilege to present the Annual Council Performance Report for the I2018/2019 financial period starting 1 July 2018 and ending 30 June 2019. The continuously high influx of people migrating from rural to urban areas places significant strain on the City’s limited resources and ability to provide serviced land for housing and commercial development and, to alleviate unemployment. It is especially challenging given the expanding informal areas. These challenges are further exacerbated by the Hepatitis-E pandemic in the informal areas for which resources and services were redirected to mitigate associated risks. 06 ANNUAL COUNCIL PERFORMANCE REPORT 2018/19 Council’s leadership agenda is committed to improving the quality of life of our people, including those in the informal areas via several projects articulated in the “Transformational Strategic Plan (2017-2022)” under the ‘Basic Services’ key performance areas such as: provision of potable water, sanitation, electricity, affordable housing and a conducive economic environment for job creation. In an effort to foster transparency and accountability, performance monitoring, evaluation and reporting remained at the forefront of the City’s governance obligations. Moving forward, the City seeks to strengthen the current performance management process by way of automating the monitoring and reporting cycle and optimising the existing meeting forums to track progress against the strategic plan, interrogate challenges, celebrate successes, take corrective actions and decisions and implement a long-term financial pla The 2019/20 financial year promises to be exciting as Council approaches the half-way milestone of the strategic period. A snapshot of some of the key projects for 2019/20 is a follows: • Continuation of the formalisation of informal areas, including the piloting of the ‘Pre- allocation concept’ which entails land allocation to residents before land is serviced. This will unlock ready cash for the servicing of plots. • Installation of pre–paid household water meters in Windhoek, starting with pensioners and residents in the north and north-western suburbs. Council will soon procure the services of a contractor to commence with household and business installations. The same applies for the installation of pre–paid electricity meters. • Council will intensify efforts to accelerate the provision of water and sanitation to residents in the under-serviced areas. • Provision of affordable housing in informal areas for which preparations have commenced with the scrutiny of different housing models. Council is convinced that if these priorities are successfully implemented, positive in-roads will be made in the provision of basic amenities to our residents by 2022. The next two to three years, in particular, present significant opportunities for development and advancement towards becoming a ‘Smart and Caring city by 2022.” This will have a meaningful impact in the lives of all stakeholders and showcase Windhoek as the gateway to endless opportunities. As the 2018/19 financial year concludes, Council wishes to reiterate its commitment to providing quality services to all the residents of

  • Migrant Windhoek: Rural–Urban Migration and Food Security in Namibia
    Urban Forum (2014) 25:191–205 DOI 10.1007/s12132-014-9220-x Migrant Windhoek: Rural–Urban Migration and Food Security in Namibia Wade Pendleton & Jonathan Crush & Ndeyapo Nickanor Published online: 18 January 2014 # Springer Science+Business Media Dordrecht 2014 Abstract The relationship between migration and food security in urban areas is an emerging area of research internationally. To date, with the exception of studies in India, Kenya, and Namibia, little attention has focused on food insecurity experienced by migrants in cities of the Global South. Building on earlier work in Namibia, this paper interrogates the relationship between migration and food security in the city of Windhoek. Windhoek has experienced significant rural–urban migration in recent years, especially since Namibia’s independence in 1990. Many migrants have settled in the northern and north-western areas of the city, primarily in the informal settlements. Most of the migrant households are poor and food insecure. In an effort to mitigate their insecure food situation, they make use of various strategies including receiving food transfers, obtaining food from informal markets, and other informal methods. This paper documents the dimensions and variations in food security amongst migrant households and examines the linkages between migration and food insecurity in a rapidly-growing African city.

SUSAN PARNELL CO-SUPERVISOR: DR. JANE BATTERSBY–LENNARD iii Abstract Rapid urbanization and rising urban poverty characterize much of Sub-Saharan Africa in the 21st Century. Africa’s urban transition provides the context within which this thesis examines the causes and consequences of poverty and food insecurity in the growing informal settlements of Windhoek, Namibia. Rapid urbanization in Windhoek has been accompanied by limited industrialization with few job opportunities in the formal employment sector. Moreover, the informal sector has not been able to absorb the ever rising volume of migrants from the rural areas, increasing urban poverty and food insecurity among the most vulnerable group in the urban environment: female-centred households in informal settlements.
