QUESTION 1
As a well-known independent consultant specialising in trade and economics, you
have been contracted by the Ambassador of the European Union (EU) to Namibia, to
provide an objective and independent review of the National Action Programme of
Investment (NAPI) guided by the Southern African Development Community (SADC)
Finance and Investment Protocol (FIP), which have already been provided to you.
Study the two documents and provide advice on what follow.
(a) How can the policy address one of the biggest obstacles in SADC trade,
namely the fragmentation of trade and professional services? Substantiate
your answer based on the documents and studying the fragmentation
challenge.
(25)
(b) Do the documents have the drivers and measurable instruments to
overcome: -
1) Trade obstacles such as Tariff Barriers (TBs) and Non-Tariff Barriers
(NTBS) which are enormous obstacles preventing and delaying trade within
SADC;
(25)
2) Obstacles and disincentives of the Namibian Investment Promotion and
Facilitation Bill? Substantiate your answer with examples from the
documents.
(25)
(c) Discuss if the three mentioned documents can fast-track economic growth
and trade of Namibia by providing empirical evidence of measurable,
qualified, and quantified outputs and outcomes that may transform Namibia
into an industrialised country. Provide evidence from the NIP, FIPand NIP to
substantiate your answer.
