An asssessment of development aid to Namibia

This paper presents an empirical exploration and analysis of the economic and policy impact of development aid to Namibia since independence 1990. Namibia has been receiving a large amount of economic and humanitarian aid, in the form of financial, technical and material support from both bilateral and multilateral development co-operation partners with a common objective to promote good governance, economic growth and reducing poverty. International aid did not came as a surprise, the independence of Namibia came as a result of an international peace settlement and a large number of nations promised to help Namibia in her process of social and economic development, right from the day of independence. As a result a donor roundtable conference for Namibia was held in Geneva in 1995, and the prepared background document on Namibia's development needs and priorities was adopted as the First National Development Plan (NDP1) for Namibia by the post independence government and covered the period from 1990-2000. Development assistance to Namibia was based on this and the subsequent Second National Development Plan (NDP2) for Namibia covering the period from 2001/2002 to 2005/2006
