dc.description.abstractThe Namibia Defence Force (NDF) is charged with the task to defend the territory and the national interests. This demanding task require robust performance by all members, hence the need to maintain well trained and highly motivated soldiers. Low morale, poor supervision and unclear procedures on promotions undermine the efforts towards a highly motivated army.
