Good governance quality in Namibia’s environmental impact assessment process
EIA is a well-known environmental governance tool. EIA in Namibia started in the 1980s, voluntarily, till independence, when legislations were developed. Since its implementation, no study has assessed the quality of Namibia’s EIA process. This study assesses the quality of the EIA mechanism in Namibia and the extent to which the process satisfies governance principles. The evaluation criteria used were obtained from sources in the literature and…
The Water Quality of the Lower Orange River and its Implications on Human and River Health
Substantive, normative and transactive effectiveness of EIA
EIA has become an important environmental management tool because it is supported by enforceable legal backing. However, its effectiveness has been debated, especially in developing countries where systems are often mimicked from the Western world. EIA in Namibia has been in place since the enactment of the legislation in 2007 and 2012 respectively. This paper investigates EIA's substantive, normative, and transactive effectiveness in Namibia as …
Evaluating the performance and procedural effectiveness of Namibia's Environmental Impact Assessment system
Lessons learnt from voluntary strategic environmental assessments (SEAs) in Namibia
Ten strategic environmental assessments (SEAs) were undertaken in Namibia between 2008 and 2013, although it is not yet a legal mandate. Efforts are currently underway to establish a formal instrument for SEA processes. To inform the drafting of such regulations or at the request of proponents, seven of these SEAs were reviewed using a methodology developed for the OECD-DAC and based on principles of SEA good practice. The reviews examined the pr…
Source of lunette dune sediments
The presence of so-called lunette dunes in the lee of pans in northern Namibia sprouted a discussion on the formation of the shallow basins related to them. These lunette dunes are made up of larger particles than those found in the pans, from which the sediments are thought to have originated. At Etosha Pan, this contradiction is compounded by the fact that the dunes are found on the northwestern and western side of the pan, whilst the prevailin…
