Namibia attained independence in 1990, since then the legal foundation of local government was manifested in the Constitution. In 1992 the Local Authorities Act was enacted to establish and regulate local government activities. From this time different types of local authorities were established and proclaimed namely, municipalities, towns and villages. Hence, the study focused on service delivery by newly proclaimed towns using Katima Mulilo as a case. The study investigated service provision by the council of Katima Mulilo in six basic municipal services namely; housing, water and electricity provision, sewerage and refuse removal, roads and street maintenance. The community expressed pleasure in provision of the following services; housing and electricity provision. On the other hand they expressed displeasure with the provision of majority services understudy, such as, water provision, sewerage reticulation and refuse removal, roads and street maintenance. The Study discovered the cause for poor service delivery to the community by the council of Katima Mulilo. The Study identified the following aspects as obstacles to service delivery by Katima Mulilo Town Council namely; scarcity of resources (financial and human), inadequate infrastructure, corruption, government's delay in releasing allocated funds and administration inconsistency by the council. Finally, recommendations have been made that can enhance local government management in Namibia.Item Implementation of medium term expenditure framework in Namibia(2002) Mafwila, Clement M.Item Combating child labour in the agricultural sector in Namibia: the role of the ministry of labour(2002) Liswani, KatrinaItem A critical review of the implementation of the Namibian public service charter(2002) Ausiku, Sirkka A.; ;Item Restructuring Namibia's electricity supply system: Analysis of socio-economic benefits and challenges of the reform agenda(2002) Lameck, FestusThe Government of Namibia (GoN) is in the process of reforming the country's electricity sector, to improve its economic, financial and technical efficiency in order for government's policy objectives to be met. Reforms being undertaken include promoting private sector investment into power generation, rationalizing the number of distributors, and transferring the responsibility for distribution in some areas to private operators. This study examines the restructuring agenda of the Namibian electricity supply system (NESS) and the socio-economic benefits and challenges that accrue from the introduction and implementation of such, from the perspectives of the various stakeholders in the reform initiative. The study specifically investigates whether there was opposition from some segments of the stakeholders and why that needed to e accommodated if the reform agenda were to be realised. The study found that political factors are the most important issues that determine the success or failure of the NESS restructuring initiative and as such need to be accommodated throughout the debate on the issue.Hence the conclusion that the restructuring agenda of the NESS needed to be considered within the overall development platform of the Namibian people and not be undertaken an isolation of other priorities that should be addressed if socio-economic develop for all is to assume meaning and become a reality.Item Namibia's export led industrialisation policy: The case of the export processing zones(2002) Uugwanga, Benjamin; ;Item Decentralization of basic education in Namibia(2002) Jankowski, Theo; ;Prior to and after independence until 1998, educational decentralization in Namibia was characterized by informal changes and not accompanied by legislation. The National Decentralization Policy was launched in 1998 and laws to this effect were enacted subsequently. This study specifically analyzes the design stage of the process. It further determines the primary criteria for decentralization and investigates impediments to the implementation of educational decentralization in Namibia. In conclusion the study found that a well designed policy for administrative decentralization is in place which is of paramount importance for successful implementation. However, with many stumbling blocks in the way and with much rhetoric but no action, the whole process urgently needs a serious kickstartItem Namibian-German relations from 1990 to 2002(2003) Akwenye, Vehepa J.; ;Item Comparative or competitive advantage of export processing zones (EPZs): policy choices and strategies for Namibia(2003) Shinguadja, Bro-MatthewItem Quality assurance in public higher education institutions in Namibia(2004) Thekwane, Bonadei K.
