  • The Contribution of the Resettlement Programme on Sustainable
    THE CONTRIBUTION OF THE RESETTLEMENT PROGRAMME ON SUSTAINABLE LIVELIHOODS OF SMALL – SCALE COMMERCIAL FARMERS IN MARIENTAL RURAL CONSTITUENCY OF THE HARDAP REGION, NAMIBIA A THESIS SUBMITED IN PARTIAL FULFILMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF EDUCATION (ADULT EDUCATION) OF THE UNIVERSITY OF NAMIBIA BY JEFTA VATUNA NGAVETENE 2001 00 580 OCTOBER 2019 SUPERVISOR: DR M. HAMUNYELA I ABSTRACT At independence, Namibia was confronted with a skewed land tenure system where the minority owned vast productive land (Juach et al., 2013). To avoid losing land to dominant locals and rich occupants the government established the Ministry of Lands and Resettlement to be responsible for the process of land reform and resettlement. As a result, the resettlement programme was established to assist in addressing social injustices and to improve the lives of those who are encircled by poverty. A resettlement programme is a developmental approach aimed at the alleviation of poverty and to uplift people’s livelihoods. This study investigated the contribution of Land Reform and Resettlement Programme (LRRP) on sustainable livelihoods of small-scale livestock commercial farmers in the Mariental Rural Constituency of Hardap Region. The study used a case study design of the qualitative approach to capture the reality of the small-scale livestock commercial farmers’ lived experiences of and thoughts about the resettlement programme, its intended purpose and benefits to them. The study revealed that the programme beneficiaries have managed to accumulate assets they did not have before they were resettled. The researcher assessed the lives of resettled farmers and remarkable improvement was observed and tangible assets were evident.

    Republic of Namibia State of the Region Address Hardap Region 28 July 2021, Mariental The Governor HONOURABLE REVEREND SALOMON MENTHOS APRIL 1 Honorable Dausab, Chairperson of Hardap Regional Council Honorable Regional Councilors present Your Worship Kuhlmann, the Mayor of Mariental Municipality and All Local Authority Councilors present The Acting Chief Regional Officer All management cadres and representatives from all Line Ministries The Acting Regional Commander of the Namibian Police Officer in Charge of Hardap Correctional facilities Chief Executive Officers of All Local Authorities Distinguished Traditional Leaders Inhabitants of the Great Hardap Region Members of the Media Viewers and listeners on different media platforms Ladies and Gentlemen Honourable Chairperson, I would like to thank you for convening a Special Session of Council to allow us to execute the mandate entrusted upon us by Article 110A subsection (5) and (6) of the Constitution of the Republic of Namibia, to present a State of the Region Address (SoRA). In this report, I will present the following aspects crosscutting all sectors: Effective governance through improved community-based planning, tourism, agriculture, education, health, safety and security, gender and housing In order to promote Effective governance through Community Based Planning I held a meeting in May 2020, with the Constituency Councillors and the Local Authorities, to review annual budgets and development plans. A key outcome was that we need to pro-actively set long term development targets. 2 Similarly, external resource mobilisation, Public-Private-Partnership and revenue collection should be enhanced in good faith to improve livelihood of our fellow citizens. It was also emphasised that the needs and opportunities identified at local authority and constituency level, must inform the overall strategic plan of the Hardap Regional Council, in order to ensure bottom-up participatory planning.

  • 10 / 12 B. Political Pluralism and Participation: 11 / 16
    Namibia https://freedomhouse.org/report/freedom-world/2019/namibia A. ELECTORAL PROCESS: 10 / 12 A1. Was the current head of government or other chief national authority elected through free and fair elections? 4 / 4 The president is both chief of state and head of government, and is directly elected for up to two five-year terms. In the 2014 election, Hage Geingob defeated numerous rivals for the presidency, winning 87 percent of the vote. The polls were deemed competitive and credible by election observers, though some logistical glitches with electronic voting machines were reported. A2. Were the current national legislative representatives elected through free and fair elections? 3 / 4 The National Council, the upper chamber of the bicameral Parliament, is comprised of 42 seats, with members appointed by regional councils for six-year terms. The lower house, the National Assembly, has 96 seats filled by popular election for five- year terms using party-list proportional representation. The 2014 polls were seen as competitive and credible by election observers, though some logistical glitches with electronic voting machines were reported. SWAPO won 80 percent of the vote, giving it 77 National Assembly seats. The Democratic Turnhalle Alliance of Namibia (DTA) followed, winning 4.8 percent of the vote for 5 seats, and eight additional parties won the remaining seats. While voter intimidation was not reported, opposition parties had some difficulty achieving visibility due to the dominance of SWAPO, which some observers said was reinforced by provisions of the Third Constitutional Amendment. A3. Are the electoral laws and framework fair, and are they implemented impartially by the relevant election management bodies? 3 / 4 The 2014 polls were the first held under the Third Constitutional Amendment, which increased the number of members in Namibia’s bicameral legislature by 40 percent.

  • An Exploration of Factors Influencing the Adoption of Ict Enabled Entrepreneurship Applications in Namibian Rural Communities
    Kamutuezu et al. Adoption of Rural Entrepreneurship Digital Services in Namibia AN EXPLORATION OF FACTORS INFLUENCING THE ADOPTION OF ICT ENABLED ENTREPRENEURSHIP APPLICATIONS IN NAMIBIAN RURAL COMMUNITIES Elizabeth Ujarura Kamutuezu, Namibia University of Science and Technology, [email protected] Heike Winschiers-Theophilus, Namibia University of Science and Technology, [email protected] Anicia Peters, University of Namibia, [email protected] Abstract: Digital services have the potential to improve rural entrepreneurs’ access to wider markets and increase their competitiveness among other benefits. Moreover, during the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic in which movement and physical contacts have been limited, businesses relied much on digital services. However, many Namibian rural entrepreneurs have not been able to use digital services to maintain their livelihood. Therefore, this study investigated the factors affecting the adoption of ICT enabled services by rural entrepreneurs. The study applied a cross-sectional survey of 77 respondents comprising 14 rural entrepreneurs and 63 rural community members from four sites. It was found that the five main factors affecting the adoption of digital services by rural entrepreneurs are a lack of awareness of digital services, electricity, skills to navigate smart devices, high cost of both devices and mobile internet and cybercrime. We recommend a tailor-made training program for rural entrepreneurs which includes raising awareness of digital services and associated benefits, capacity building on digital skills and best practice for cybersecurity. In addition, we propose that the Namibian Government should enhance digital inclusion through a policy initiative to reduce the cost to make both data and smart devices affordable for the poor and rural communities.

  • 50-50 PB NAMIB May20rev
    50/50 POLICY BRIEF NAMIBIA MAY 2020 Namibia came within a hairbreadth of attaining gender parity in the 2019 elections. Photo: Colleen Lowe Morna Key facts This policy brief sets out key issues and options for the increased representation of women in politics in Namibia following the 2019 elections. The issue is of critical importance given that: • Namibia has local government and regional elections in 2020. • Elections at both local and national level are run on a Proportional Representation (PR) electoral system that is generally more favourable to women's representation. • The ruling South West Africa People's Organisation (SWAPO) has a 50% one woman, one man (or “zebra”) quota. This played a key role in delivering 46% women to the House of Assembly in 2019. The 2019 elections paved way for young women in leadership in Namibia. • There is a legislated 30% quota for women at the local but not national level in Namibia. Last year former South West African People's Organisation (SWAPO) MP Eunice Iipinge introduced a motion in parliament for a 50% legislated quota at local and national level. The motion received broad support but has not been enacted. • Regional elections are run on a First Past the Post (FPTP) basis. This largely accounts for the very low representation of women (17%) in this tier of government. • Article 23 of the Namibian Constitution acknowledges that women were previously disadvantaged in many areas of life including politically. These facts present both a threat and an opportunity to debate electoral systems and quotas, the experiences1 Appointed by the King.

    2011 POPULATION AND HOUSING CENSUS Hardap Regional Profile Basic Analysis with Highlights March 2014 Foreword Foreword The first Population and Housing Census in an independent Namibia was conducted in 1991. Since then, a Census has been undertaken every ten years, and the 2011 Population and Housing Census marks Namibia’s third census since independence in 1990. The Census is demonstrative of the Namibia Statistics Agency’s (NSA) commitment to providing relevant and quality statistics to support decision making, policy formulation and monitoring of development programmes. This regional profile presents the result of the 2011 Namibia Population and Housing Census for the Hardap Region. The report provides a wide range of indicators on population characteristics, household and housing conditions and households enumerated in the region between 28 August and 15 September 2011. The report further provides detailed information on age and sex composition, marital status, education, literacy, economic activity, orphan-hood, fertility and disability. In addition, household size, housing amenities, ownership and the quality of housing are also presented in this report. All these indicators are provided at regional, urban/rural and constituency level. It should be noted that internal migration was not possible to calculate at constituency level. However it was provided at regional level in the 2011 main census report launched on 27 March 2013, as well as in the Population Atlas released in June 2013. This regional profile is the fourth in a series of reports to be released based on the 2011 census data. The first report - released in April 2012 - disseminated provisional results on the distribution of the population.
