Frustrations are largely the result of a lack of information (including the need for marketing strategies regarding the programme), poor attendance of meetings and a general lack of interest shown by implementing officers. In the absence of annual programme reports, ill-informed assessments of the quality of the DBTP were made Other negative factors include insufficient funds, lack of monitoring and evaluation units, as well as poor financial control systems. The paper further argues that poor communication among councilors, implementing officers and beneficiaries have contributed to delays in the implementation of the programme. $ Finally, the study offers recommendations, hoping that they might assist the implementing officers in contributing to the successful development of the DBTP programme Windhoek Namibia University of Namibia Master in Public Policy and Administration 69 p. and appendices eng Housing Community-based projects An Assessment of the decentralised build together programme in the city of Windhoek from 1999 until 2004 Thesis 2943open.access
