dc.description.abstractThis study was aimed at evaluating public participation in the Integrated Development Planning Process at Groot Aub in Namibia. The qualitative research method was adopted in carrying out the study. A sample size of 30 people was selected from the population of the study. The study used Stratified sampling to select (15) residents of Groot Aub, (5) small business owners and (6) Constituency Committee members. Whereas, Purposive sampling technique was used to select (1) Groot Aub traditional leader, (2) CoW staff members from the Public Participation and Economic Development department, (1) Windhoek Rural Councillor. Purposive sampling was deliberately used because the researcher believed that the people selected purposefully would provide insight that is valuable to the research topic. A tape recorder was used for interviews with the City of Windhoek personnel, focus group discussions were used with other participants of the study, then the researcher analysed data in a narrative way. Constituency committee members who participated in this study indicated that they had attended the constituency committee induction workshop, also they attended training courses that were related to their roles and responsibility. The study revealed that the traditional leader in Groot Aub is capacitated through attending Council meetings referred to as local municipality and constituency committee meetings as this is where information needed is received. Moreover, the CoW should create a training unit for its staff that deals with the IDP with the aim of training them continuously in order to ensure the effective and efficient implementation of all the programmes and projects in the IDP process sufficient funds to the IDP section in order to spearhead local economic activities in the Municipality. Findings from group discussion indicate that further studies should consider analysing the perceptions and attitudes of the stakeholders towards the effectiveness and efficiency of the local authorities‟ IDP Processes
