In this regard, Namibia is celebrating the tenth anniversary of the introduction of this public sector reform for the budget process. The MTEF was introduced to prevent the narrow one-year planning horizon in which the budgets were formulated. The MTEF is the key budget document that sets out government expenditure plans for the next three financial years. The main objectives of the MTEF are as follows: To improve the allocation of resources to government‟s priorities by extending the planning period; To improve the financial planning in the Votes by increasing the predictability of available resources; To improve the planning of recurrent cost implications for capital expenditure; To provide the private sector and all other stakeholders with relevant information on the budgetary policies in the medium term; thereby improving the information base for private investment decisions. The MTEF is guided by the National Development Plans (NDP‟s), the Macroeconomic Framework and the Fiscal Policy Framework and it seeks to address the challenges identified under these frameworks. It outlines the policies underpinning the budget and sets out the expenditure ceilings for the next three financial years. The document comprises of the following Sections: Section 1 provides an introduction to the MTEF; Section 2 summarises the policy context of the budget; Section 3 comprises of Fiscal Policy developments covering the period 2008/09 – 2010/11; followed by Chapter 4 on Fiscal Policy Outlook 2011/12 – 2013/14. Section 5 deals with the Public Finance Management Strategy and lastly Section 6 covers the Medium Term Plans for Offices/ Ministries and Agencies. 3 Policy Framework 2.0 Policy Framework The global economy is recovering well from the economic recession albeit at varying speeds in different regions. This global pattern of multispeed recovery is expected to continue over the medium term period. Owing to this global economic recovering and the supportive government budget policy, the Namibian economics has recovered well from the effects of the global economic crisis. This recovery is projected to continue over the MTEF period with positive economic growth rates projected for all MTEF years. This favourable economic outlook provides favourable prospects for the public revenue. The favourable public revenue prospects allows for flexibilities to continue the use of Fiscal Policy to support the domestic economic recovery and to address other pressing issues. The total additional allocation over 2011/12 – 2012/13 amounts to N$14.9bn (N$8.8bn for 2011/12 and N$6.1bn for 2012/13, respectively). Total Resource Envelope over the MTEF amounts to N$119.9bn. Of this, an amount of N$37.7bn is proposed for 2011/12 financial year, N$37.5bn for 2012/13 and N$44.7bn for 2013/14. Government will thus continue with an expansionary fiscal policy stance over the MTEF. 4 Fiscal Policy Developments 3.0 Fiscal Policy Developments for 2008/09 – 2010/11 3.1 Revenue and Grants Total revenue and grants for 2009/10 amounted to N$24.0bn; which is 2 percent (N$479 million) more than the MTEF estimate of N$23.6bn. This outturn is 2.5 percent higher than N$23.4bn achieved during 2008/09. The positive outturn was a result of increased collection on Individual Income Tax, Non-mining Company Tax and Value-Added Tax (VAT). SACU receipts remained stable during 2009/10, but significant reduction was anticipated during 2010/11 and 2011/12 due to the impact of the global economic crisis on the SACU Common Revenue Pool (CRP). The SACU CRP incurred consecutive deficits of N$9.1bn and N$9.9 bn during 2008/09 and 2009/10 respectively. Preliminary outturn for 2010/11 financial year (April – December 2010) stood

  • Vulnerability and Adaptation to Climate Change in the Semi-Arid Regions of Southern Africa
    Vulnerability and Adaptation to Climate Change in the Semi-Arid Regions of Southern Africa 1 About ASSAR Working Papers This series is based on work funded by Canada’s International Development Research Centre (IDRC) and the UK’s Department for International Development (DFID) through the Collaborative Adaptation Research Initiative in Africa and Asia (CARIAA). CARIAA aims to build the resilience of vulnerable populations and their livelihoods in three climate change hot spots in Africa and Asia. The program supports collaborative research to inform adaptation policy and practice. Titles in this series are intended to share initial findings and lessons from research and background studies commissioned by the program. Papers are intended to foster exchange and dialogue within science and policy circles concerned with climate change adaptation in vulnerability hotspots. As an interim output of the CARIAA program, they have not undergone an external review process. Opinions stated are those of the author(s) and do not necessarily reflect the policies or opinions of IDRC, DFID, or partners. Feedback is welcomed as a means to strengthen these works: some may later be revised for peer-reviewed publication.

  • Oshikango: the Dynamics of Growth and Regulation in a Namibian Boom Town*
    Journal of Southern African Studies, Volume 35, Number 1, March 2009 Oshikango: The Dynamics of Growth and Regulation in a Namibian Boom Town* Gregor Dobler (University of Basel) Angola’s economic re-integration into the Southern African region profoundly changes the economic and political landscape in the neighbouring countries. Apart from the country’s new political influence, Angolan buying power leads to an economic boom in formerly marginal places along its borders. Oshikango, the main Namibian border post to Angola, is perhaps the most impressive example of that change. Over the last 12 years, a forgotten outpost has developed into a sprawling boom town. In the first part of this article, I trace the town’s development and give an outline of the different economic activities that were instrumental in it. A second part concentrates on the role of the border for the town’s development and the construction of Namibian political and economic identity. While state regulations are enforced on both sides on the border, the transit between them is under- regulated and provides the economic opportunities that fuel the boom. The third part then looks at regulation within the boom town and its growing integration into the Namibian political landscape. The capacity of local administrators to profit from the boom rests on two interlinked factors: they are seen as bureaucratic representatives of state power, which lends legitimacy and leverage to their efforts of domination; but there is always too much to regulate in a boom town, which makes it possible to choose where and how to apply official rules without losing legitimacy.

  • NAMIBIA Namibia Is a Multiparty Democracy with a Population Of
    NAMIBIA Namibia is a multiparty democracy with a population of approximately 2.2 million. The presidential and parliamentary elections held in November 2009 resulted in the reelection of President Hifikepunye Pohamba and the retention by the ruling South West Africa People's Organization (SWAPO) of its parliamentary majority. Despite some irregularities, international observers characterized the election as generally free and fair. In March the High Court dismissed a challenge to the election outcome filed by nine opposition parties; however, in September the Supreme Court overturned the decision and sent the case back to the High Court, where the case remained pending at year's end. Security forces reported to civilian authorities. Human rights problems included police use of excessive force; prison overcrowding and poor conditions in detention centers; arbitrary arrest, prolonged pretrial detention, and long delays in trials; criticism of nongovernmental organizations (NGOs); harassment and political intimidation of opposition members; and official corruption. Societal abuses included violence against women and children, including rape and child abuse; discrimination against women, ethnic minorities, and indigenous people; child trafficking; discrimination and violence based on sexual orientation and gender identity; and child labor. RESPECT FOR HUMAN RIGHTS Section 1 Respect for the Integrity of the Person, Including Freedom From: a. Arbitrary or Unlawful Deprivation of Life There were no reports that the government or its agents committed arbitrary or unlawful killings. There were no developments in the 2008 case in which a police officer shot and killed a demonstrator who stabbed a police constable during a political rally. On April 22, seven of the nine police officers accused of killing a suspect during interrogation in 2006 were found guilty of culpable homicide, assault with intent to do grievous bodily harm, and obstructing the course of justice.
