    The Case for Adequate Housing for Teachers in Windhoek
    (Namibia University of Science and Technology, Integrated Land Management Institute, 2016-07) Guillermo, Delgado; Lühl, Phillip
    The initiative to investigate the housing situation of teachers in Namibia was triggered by teacher Gertrude Mujoro, who discussed the matter with her fellow colleagues who brought the matter to the attention of the leadership of the Teachers Union of Namibia (TUN). In 2014 the Trade Union Congress of Namibia (TUCNA), the umbrella federation that TUN belongs to, developed a document titled “TUCNA Development Policy Proposals” (TUCNA, 2014), which contains a section on housing. In line with this mandate, Mahongora Kavihuha, Secretary General of TUN and TUCNA, approached the Integrated Land Management Institute (ILMI) at the Namibia University of Science and Technology (NUST), to establish an open collaboration around the topic. As a result, a series of workshops and discussions between teachers and ILMI staff were held to explore housing possibilities for teachers in Namibia.

    The proposed new Urban and Regional Planning Bill: an appraisal.
    (Namibia University of Science and Technology, Integrated Land Management Institute, 2015-10) Genis, Pieter
    The Bill aimed at overriding old ordinances that dated back to the 1950s and 60s. The main objective of the Bill is that of decentralisation, and has three main points: the establishment of "authorized planning authorities" (APA); the consolidation of Townships Board and the Namibia Planning Advisory Board (NAMPAB) into one Urban and Regional Planning Board; and long term spatial development frameworks by means of a structure plan at all levels: national, regional, and urban.
