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.

There continues to be a great disparity between rich and poor, and obstacles still exist between races. In both rural and urban regions of the country, many people live in shacks made from corrugated steel with little access to water, electricity, and basic sanitation. Since Independence, there has been a high number of rural citizens migrating to the capital city of Windhoek, most of whom end up living in shacks in the informal settlements of Katutura. This large influx in population, combined with a lack of job opportunities, has caused the unemployment rate in the Windhoek area to rise to around 30%.
