Abstract:
The research’s fundamental investigation elaborates on interactions between tertiary educational factors and Namibia’s sustainable economic development. Sequential mixed-research-method guides the investigation towards its results: A quantitative statistical data analysis enables the selection of interrelated educational and economic factors and monitors its development within Namibia’s last three decades. Subsequent qualitative interviews accumulate respondents’ subjective assessments that enable answering the fundamental interaction. Globally evident connections between a nation’s tertiary education system and its economic development are partially confirmed within Namibia. The domestic government recognizes the importance of education that represents a driving force for its sustainable economic development. Along with governmental NDP’s (National Development Program) and its long-term Vision 2030, Namibia is on the right track in transforming itself into a Knowledge-Based and Sustainable Economy. This transformation process increases human capital, growing GDP, and enhances domestic’s living standards. Namibia’s multiculturalism and its unequal resource distribution provoke difficulties for certain ethnicities accessing educational institutions. Namibia’s tertiary education system’s other challenges are missing infrastructures, lacking curricula’ quality, and absent international expertise. The authors’ findings suggest that, due to Namibia’s late independence, there is a substantial need to catch up in creating a Namibian identity. Socioeconomic actions would enhance domestic’s self-esteem and would enable the development of sustainable economic sectors. Raising the Namibian tertiary education system’s educational quality and enhancing its access could lead to diversification of economic sectors, accelerating its internationalization process. Besides that, Namibia has to face numerous challenges, including corruption, unemployment, and multidimensional poverty, that interact with its tertiary education system.

Abstract:
Road freight transport plays a crucial role in fostering global economic growth. Namibia’s increased transit traffic highlights its focus on becoming Africa’s logistical hub. To stay competitive, Namibian road freight firms must be more innovative now than ever before. There are few studies on innovation in the Namibia road freight transport industry. This study investigated the innovative capabilities of Namibian road freight transport operators. To measure firms’ innovativeness, the study used the non-linear constructs of innovation. The target population comprised Windhoek’s road freight transport firms affiliated with Namibia Logistics Association, with 22 firms forming the representative sample. Both qualitative and quantitative data were gathered through interviews and questionnaires in a mixed-method approach. The study revealed that Namibia’s road freight transport operators possess the capacity to deliver innovative logistics and transport services. In addition, the study highlighted the need to improve rewards systems and attitudes towards risk in the industry. Although the study was confined to Windhoek-based firms, it addressed a notable gap in research on innovativeness within the Namibian road freight transport sector.

Abstract:
Namibia, After Three Years : Political Independent but Economic Unstable Namibia became independent on the 21st of March 1990, after seventy-five years of South African colonial and racial rule. SW APO fought a long war for liberation, but the independence was also gained thanks to the diplomatic pressure from the United Nations. The United Nations were actively involved in the organisation of the first free elections which were held on the 7th of November 1989. The SW APO liberation movement became by far the most important political party in the Namibian Parliament. But from the beginning the SWAPO-leaders explained that the past should be forgotten. They promoted a constructive political and economic collaboration with all Namibians, African and European. Due to this atmosphere of reconciliation Namibia had a successful political independence. One of the world's most progressive constitutions was written. It ends all racial discrimination and guarantees an extensive review of the human rights. The rules for the organisation of the legislative, executive and judiciary power are respected by all political parties. Namibia is without any doubt an example for a lot of African countries, which are now making steps towards democracy and multi-partyism. The Namibian government has still a lot of problems to deal with. The major ones are the social and economic inequalities that still exist between African and European Namibians. The conditions of life of the European Namibians are comparable to these in modern western societies, while African Namibians are living in poverty. The government will have to change this, because in the long term one cannot expect to build democracy on empty stomachs. But in order to realize the necessary economic growth, Namibians are also counting on the support and the investments from abroad. A member of government recently said: “Now we’ve installed democracy and the human rights are respected, where are the foreign investments and the international aid?”

Abstract:
Research on the behavior of the Namibian judiciary highlights the importance of context-sensitivity in comparative courts research. Drawing from strategic understandings of judicial behavior, the analysis examines the extent to which political influences are affecting the behavior of judges in Namibia. The findings indicate that, for the most part, Namibia's judges have exercised high levels of independence in their decision making. Yet deference to other branches has been apparent among certain expatriate judges who have faced unique vulnerabilities in the Namibian political system. Context sensitivity proved critical to the study, as it enabled more effective operationalization of concepts and generation of variables to test existing theory. Beyond this, such awareness enhanced the ability to interpret the findings about judicial behavior in Namibia and generate new insights to inform inquiry.

Abstract:
Climate change is one of the concepts in Namibian languages that does not have any meaning or cannot be easily translated into the native dialects. It is very alien to many Namibians but yet growing in popularity, as it has become a problem that is affecting the economy, natural resources, and tradition and culture of the native people. Climate change is probably going to worsen the dry circumstances that are currently experienced in Southern Africa or Namibia to be specific. If it happens that rainfall does come in good amounts regularly, it will probably erupt in greater power. This will eventually lead to floods and erosion damages in some parts of the country, though these expectations have had very little influence on Namibian policy. Reid et al. (2008) stated that over the past 20 years there has been annual decrease in the Namibian economy of up to 5%, which has been a result of the climate change mostly impacting natural resources in the country. The result was reported using the computable general equilibrium (CGE) model simulations for Namibia. However, this result has negatively impacted the poorest people the most, which is a consequence of decline in wages and employment opportunities, especially for uneducated or unskilled labor in rural areas. It is of utmost importance for Namibia to take initiatives to ensure that most of its policies and activities are environmentally proofed. Namibia should have a unique approach to deal with displaced farmers and farm workers and citizens of such nature by looking into its issues of colonialism. In addition, there is a clear need to mainstream climate change into policies of developing countries like Namibia, because it is the responsibility of these countries to muddle through with climate change impacts and plan for a climate-constrained future.

Abstract:
Namibia is distinctive in Africa for at least three significant reasons. First of all, it remains the continent's last colony in defiance of world opinion and the United Nations. Secondly, it has experienced Africa's longest armed liberation struggle apart from South Africa, with no end yet in sight. Thirdly, and most importantly, that conflict is not being waged against some distant metropolitan power, but Namibia's dominant and pariah neighbour. Just as this geographical contiguity has facilitated South African attempts to retain control over Namibia, it seems certain to impose severe constraints on the scope for pursuing independent policies once Namibian sovereignty is finally achieved.

Abstract:
Abstract This article initiates the conversation on the conceptualisation of child neglect in Namibia, reporting findings from a small study undertaken in 2017. The research is a collaboration between academics at the University of Namibia, Africa, University of Bristol and Cardiff University in the UK. The study is the first of its kind in Namibia, offering original knowledge about what constitutes neglect for children in the local context of child-rearing practice. Qualitative interviews with practitioners in schools and social-care organisations were undertaken in three of the fourteen political regions of Namibia. Interviews ascertained participants’ thoughts and understandings of child neglect at individual and community levels. Teenage pregnancy and substance misuse emerged as central to the conceptualisation of neglect within the local context, with a tension between Western and indigenous child-rearing practices. This article offers rich insights into the social construction of child neglect amongst indigenous communities in Namibia, identifying a need for knowledge gathering into broader aspects of child health and well-being within Namibia’s diverse indigenous peoples. The authors call for future co-produced research, which engages local communities and stakeholders in investigating this issue, to improve the health and well-being of Namibian children in congruence with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals.

Abstract:
The most abhorred population group in Africa (and by extension in Namibia) is the LGBTQI community. Non-heterosexuality is largely condemned in most African countries for political, religious, cultural and legal reasons. Couched within Appraisal Theory, the paper examines how linguistic resources are exploited in manners that evince how homophobia is politically and legally framed in two Namibian daily newspapers – The Namibian and New Era. For example, while the world has reacted to the realities of the departure from the traditional binary definitional parameters of sexualities and sexual identities, Namibia still remains largely homophobic, together with at least 47 other African countries still criminalising homosexuality. In 2001, for example, a video documentary quotes the then President of Namibia, Dr Sam Nujoma, expressing the sentiments that “Lesbians and homosexualism, these we condemn – we reject them. In Namibia there will be no lesbian, no homosexualism” (Blecher, 2001). In August 2005, Minister of Home Affairs, Theopolina Mushelenga, publicly denounced the human rights of Namibian gays and lesbians and also asserted that “homosexuals were responsible for the HIV and AIDS pandemic” (Lorway, 2006, p. 436). Homosexuality has generally, thus, been regarded as an uncultural, unAfrican, uncommon and unacceptable phenomenon in Africa, including Namibia. In Namibia, as in other African countries, the penalty for homosexual behaviour is imprisonment. Many Namibian political leaders have publicly expressed that homosexual rights go against the legal, religious and cultural values of the country. There are political and legal imports to the rejection of homosexual behaviour patterns in Namibia as evinced in news reporting cultures. Homosexuality in Namibian political and legal discourses is largely imagined as either an ‘unAfrican’ behaviour or attributed to western influences on Africa. Linguistic expression by many Namibian politicians also evince a revulsion of homosexuality.

Abstract:
The land reform debate in Namibia has been predicated on a number of questionable assumptions and is atypical of the scenarios presented by other SADC countries. The one point of similarity is that the progress of Namibian land reform has been very slow. The evidence suggests that land reform has served as an expedient rhetorical device which the ruling party resorts to as and when it suits its political agenda. It has also served as a means by which high-ranking officials have enriched themselves at the expense of the peasantry. Namibia’s financial commitment to land reform was negligible when considered alongside some of its ruler’s more grandiose personal projects. This article contends that land reform in Namibia has been a minor issue and was always unlikely to compromise the political stability that has led to Namibia’s robust performance as a tourism mecca.

Abstract:
This paper analysed how different Namibian poets have utilised different poetic devices to depict the theme of agony in Namibian post-independence poetry. Guided by the postcolonial theory, the paper looked at the use of different poetic devices in selected poems from three Namibian anthologies, Dreams, My Heart in your Hands and Searching for the Rain. The study found that certain socio-political and socio-economic issues act as the main catalysts for the agony prevailing in post-independent Namibia. Such issues include poverty, unemployment, inequality and disillusionment. These issues are the most prevailing themes in the selected poems. In the same vein, the study found that these postcolonial issues play a significant role in the struggles of the masses in post-independence Namibia. Furthermore, the study established that most poets have employed similar poetic devices to portray different dimensions of suffering experienced in the postcolonial era. The commonly used devices are onomatopoeia, imagery, irony, repetition, simile as well as personification. Lastly, the study established that Namibian poets have successfully employed different poetic devices to highlight and emphasise the struggles faced by Namibians in the post-independence era.

Abstract:
Många av jordens fattigaste människor lever på landsbygden och är beroende av småskaligt jordbruk för sin överlevnad. Förenta nationerna anser att det är en nyckelfaktor att öka produktiviteten hos jordbruken för att minska undernäringen i världen. Under det senaste årtiondet har den akademiska litteraturen gjort framsteg kring produktutveckling för utvecklingsländer men det är fortfarande få studier om hur den bör genomföras. Målet med detta examensarbete är att redogöra för vilka framgångsfaktorer som bör beaktas vid produktutveckling för människor på landsbygden i utvecklingsländer.Den empiriska datan baseras på ett produktutvecklingsprojekt i norra Namibia samt intervjuer med experter inom området. Projektet genomfördes som ett Minor Field Study projekt, sommaren 2016, genom passiva och aktiva fältstudier. Eftersom mycket av den befintliga teorin är generell, analyseras den för hur väl den kan appliceras i Namibia. Examensarbetet resulterade i två kategorier av framgångsfaktorer, projektets organisation och produktdesign. Den första kategorin listar framgångsfaktorer för hur ett lokalt produktutvecklingsprojekt bör organiseras. Den andra kategorin listar framgångsfaktorer kopplade till själva produkten. Genom att redogöra för dessa syftar den här rapporten till att vara ett stöd för småskaliga produktutvecklingsprojekt för Namibias landsbygd utförda av icke-namibiska företag eller organisationer.Intressanta slutsatser är att rekommendationer för tillverkning skiljer sig från vad som rekommenderats i tidigare litteratur. En analys är att det grundar sig i det småskaliga perspektivet som är påtvingat av Namibias låga populationstäthet. För att styrka rapportens slutsatser bör ytterligare studier inom småskalig produktutveckling för landsbygden i utvecklingsländer genomföras.
Many of the poorest people on earth live in rural areas and are dependent on small-scale farming for their survival. The United Nations sees it as key to improve the productivity of these farms in order to reduce undernourishment in the world. Even though the literature has taken a big step forward on product development for developing countries during the past decade, there are still few studies on how to develop products for this specific group. This master thesis aims to state the success factors when developing products for people living in rural areas of Namibia.The empirical data is based on a product development project in northern Namibia as well as interviews with experts within the area. The product development project was carried out as a Minor Field Study during the summer of 2016 and the authors of this report spent two months in Namibia conducting both passive and active field studies. Since much of the existing literature claims to be general, this thesis starts off by analysing the existing literature to see how it applies in the Namibian context. The literature study together with the empirical findings are then formed into two categories of success factors when developing products for rural Namibia. The first category, project organisation, lists the success factors for how to set up a local product development project as a non-Namibian company or organisation. The second category, product design, lists the success factors linked to the actual product. By stating these success factors this thesis aims to be a support for small scale development projects carried out by a non-Namibian company or organisation targeting rural Namibia.Interesting findings are that the recommended production methods differ from what is recommended in previous literature. This report argues that the reason for this is the small scale perspective forced by Namibia’s low population density in contrast to India’s, from where most of the existing literature originates. This raise the need for further studies on small scale product development projects in rural areas to validate the findings of this report.

Abstract:
This field guide covering 20 plants native to Namibia, located between Angola and South Africa on the Atlantic Coast, with medicinal uses by indigenous tribes, was written to help preserve the traditional knowledge that is presently passed orally from generation to generation. As indigenous tribes transition from a nomadic, pastoralist lifestyle this traditional knowledge is at risk of being lost. Thus, the purpose of this field guide is to explain the medicinal uses of 20 selected plants by the indigenous tribes of Namibia and present botanical and ecological information about these plants. It is important for members of the scientific community to help preserve this knowledge and this field guide will help in this by consolidating research. The Namibian tribes use many plants, but only 20 are covered in this field guide because these are the ones that have been seen and documented by the author, and for which information is available from multiple sources. The format will include each plant organized alphabetically by genus and accompanied by photographs taken by the author. The order of information for each entry will follow: Plant: Genus species, Family, Common names, Range, Diagnostic characteristics, Governmental protection status, and Indigenous medicinal uses.

Abstract:
Delaktighet är ett vanligt förekommande begrepp som bland annat används inom socialpedagogiken för att studera mänskliga relationer. Det finns dock många dimensioner av delaktighet, begreppet kan av individen upplevas ha både en subjektiv och objektiv betydelse. Enligt barnkonventionen har alla barn rätt att gå i skolan. Vidare påpekar barnkonventionen att skolan ska skapa delaktighet för barnen. Att känna sig delaktig kan således anses vara en mänsklig rättighet, men hur pass delaktiga upplever eleverna på skolan sig egentligen? Föreliggande studie har haft till syfte att studera och analysera hur elevers delaktighet framhävs i skolmiljön utifrån ett elevperspektiv, både under lektionstid med lärare och utanför lektionstid elever emellan. Arbetet har bedrivits i en kommunal namibisk skola med hjälp av deltagande observationer, semistrukturerade intervjuer och en mikroetnografisk metodologisk ansats. Resultaten av arbetet överensstämmer till viss del med tidigare forskning. Eleverna upplever mycket social och informell delaktighet mellan varandra, men skolan brister på att skapa relationell pedagogik och delaktighet i klassrummet. Bristen på inflytande över lärandet påverkar studiemotivationen, vilket i sin tur upplevs som dålig studieprestation av lärarna och leder till att eleverna bestraffas. Till skillnad från resultaten av tidigare forskning påvisades i föreliggande arbete ingen socioekonomisk påverkan på elevprestation. Detta har troligtvis att göra med att skolan kompenserar elever med lägre socioekonomisk status genom att erbjuda billigt boende, mat och skoluniform. Resultaten från arbetet kan användas för att bedriva liknande forskning.
Participation is a common concept, which is used in social pedagogy to study human relations. However, there are many dimensions of participation and the concept can be both a subjective and objective meaning. According to the Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC), all children should have the right to go to school. Additionally, the CRC points out that the school should create participation for the children. To feel involved can thus be regarded as a human right, but how participated does the pupils experience themselves? This study aimed to study and analyze how pupils' participation is emphasized in the school environment from a pupils' perspective, both in class with teachers and outside of the classroom among the pupils themselves. The study has been conducted in a municipal Namibian school using participant observation, semi-structured interviews and a micro ethnographic methodological approach. The results of the study are consistent to some extent with previous research. Pupils experience very social and informal participation among each other, but the school fails to create relational pedagogy and participation in the classroom. The lack of influence is affecting the pupils study motivation, which in turn is perceived as bad study performance by the teachers and they therefore get punished. Unlike the results of previous research, this study shows that socio-economic status does not affect pupil performance. This probably has to do with the fact that the school compensates pupils with lower socio-economic status by providing affordable accommodation, free food and school uniforms. The results of this study can be used to conduct similar research.

Abstract:
This paper describes a new concept and experiences of a distributed interdisciplinary learning programme for students across continents. The aim is to provide students with a truly Global Intercultural Project Experience (GIPE) by working together with peers from around the world, and solving real-life client’s problems. We have received seed-funding for four annual projects to engage students from Germany (Europe), Namibia (Africa), Indonesia (Asia), and Peru (Latin-America). In 2020, 30 students from four continents engaged in a one-semester distributed software development project for a Namibian client. Despite Covid-19 they successfully completed the project expressing deep appreciation for the learning opportunities overcoming challenges of working across wide-spread time zones, cultures, changing requirements, and various technical challenges. Considering the vast learning benefits, we suggest to incorporate such projects in all tertiary education curricula across the globe.

Abstract:
This paper examines two high-profile commemorative spaces in Namibia’s national capital, Windhoek, designed and constructed by North Korean state-owned enterprise Mansudae Overseas Projects. These commemorative projects illustrate the complex and evolving intersections between public art, architecture and urban form in this post-colonial context. They show how sites designed around heritage and collective identity intersect with urban space’s physical development and everyday use. The projects also illustrate the intersecting histories of three aesthetic lineages: German, South African and North Korean. This paper will show how these commemorative spaces embody North Korean urban space ideas while also developing new national symbols, historical narratives and identities within Windhoek’s urban landscape as part of independent Namibia’s nation-building. The monument’s ‘Socialist Realist’ aesthetic signals a conscious departure from the colonial and apartheid eras by the now-independent Namibian government. This paper extends prior research focused on the symbolism of Mansudae’s monumental schemes by analysing these monuments’ design, placement, public reception and use within Windhoek as they relate to the city’s overall development since Namibia’s independence in 1990. By documenting the form, location and decision-making processes for the Mansudae-designed memorials in Windhoek and historical changes in their spatial and political context, the paper explores the interaction between North Korean political ideology and design approaches and Namibia’s democratic ambitions for city-making. The paper’s mapping analysis spatially compares the sculptural, architectural and urban design strategies of Mansudae’s additions to Windhoek’s City Crown (2010-14) to Pyongyang’s Mansu Hill Grand Monument (1972-2011), and Windhoek’s Heroes’ Acre (2002) to Mansudae’s earlier National Martyrs Cemetery outside Pyongyang (1975-85).

Oppel, Annalena. Beyond Informal Social Protection – Personal Networks of Economic Support in Namibia. Institute of Development Studies (IDS), November 2020. http://dx.doi.org/10.19088/ids.2020.002.

Full text
Abstract:
This paper poses a different lens on informal social protection (ISP). ISP is generally understood as practices of livelihood support among individuals. While studies have explored the social dynamics of such, they rarely do so beyond the conceptual space of informalities and poverty. For instance, they discuss aspects of inclusion, incentives and disincentives, efficiency and adequacy. This provides important insights on whether and to what extent these practices provide livelihood support and for whom. However, doing so in part disregards the socio-political context within which support practices take place. This paper therefore introduces the lens of between-group inequality through the Black Tax narrative. It draws on unique mixed method data of 205 personal support networks of Namibian adults. The results show how understanding these practices beyond the lens of informal social protection can provide important insights on how economic inequality resonates in support relationships, which in turn can play a part in reproducing the inequalities to which they respond.
