Qmesti!m 'fwe
[25]
In brief, and in your own words discuss the successes and the failures of the decentralisation
policy in Namibia. Your views to this question should be based on the current NDP6, Vision
2030 and Sustainable Developernnt goals reports.
Question 'flwee
[25]
Analyse the distinct roles of Cotmcillors, Chief Executive Officers (CEOs), and Strategic
Executives in driving the promotion of Local Economic Development (LED) and ensuring the
successful implementation of Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 11 in Namibia. How do
these leaders contribute to creating inclusive, resilient, and sustainable cities, and what specific
actions or strategies do they employ to achieve these objectives at the local government level?
Question Four
[25]
The Local Authority Act No. 23 of 1992 inadequately addresses the current conditions of
Namibia's local authority institutions. It is essential to consider the necessity of revising and
amending the entire act to better align with the realities faced by local institutions and the
thriving economy of the local populace. Critique this statement by providing reasons and
examples and suggest whether it would be ideal to change the act entirely.
