Namibia’s Development Efforts Sample Clauses

Namibia’s Development Efforts. Over the past 14 Financial Years, the Namibian Government has allocated on average 37.54% of the total annual budgets to the social sectors of health and education. Over these years, approximately one third of the allocation has been earmarked for the health sector, while the remainder is assigned to the education sector. When the budgetary allocations to the Ministry of Agriculture, Water and Rural Development are included (for constituting one of the ICP’s target sectors), the resource allocation from own revenues since Namibia’s Independence to the social sectors has been on average 44.50%. Of this, 47% and 28.35% has been allotted to current and capital expenditures, respectively. Given the significant importance that the Namibian Government attaches to the development of the social sector, it can be argued that, on the one hand, (i) Namibia has to spend a major share of its resources on reducing the backlog of human and physical resources that has been brought about during the pre-Independence era, specifically within the social sectors, and, on the other hand, (ii) that this cannot continue to be done much longer at the expense of the other important sectors, specifically if the importance of, for example, the industrial sector is noted within the context of globalisation, without substantial external assistance. It must be pointed out at this stage that within the Namibian context, substantial spending on the development budget of the social sectors in order to redress past injustices does not immediately and necessarily lead to an increase in the standard of living or an increase in per capita income. A major portion of the development budget is still required to merely eliminate the backlog in physical facilities before line Ministries can make a concerted effort to address issues of employment creation, income distribution and quality of life.
