1. Introduction
NamibiahasbeenamemberoftheInternationalLabourOrganization(ILO)since1978andisanintegralpartoftheglobalcommunityofworkthroughitscollaborationandcooperationwiththeILO.In2018,NamibiabecameaDeputyILOGoverningBody(GB)memberfor2018-2021havingassumedthesamerolebeforefrom2000to2002.InAugust2018,NamibiatookoverasChairoftheSouthernAfricanDevelopmentCommunity(SADC)EmploymentandLabourSector(ELS)andactivelyparticipatesaspartofSADCintheAfricanUnion(AU)SpecializedTechnicalCommitteeonSocialDevelopment,LabourandEmployment.
Since2005, the ILOhaschannelled its support toMemberStates through the frameworkofDecentWorkCountryProgrammes(DWCPs).Namibia’sfirstDecentWorkCountryProgrammecoveredtheperiodof2010-2014andwassignedinJune2010.The2010-2014DWCPfocusedonthreeprioritiesandkeyareasofwork,namely:Employment Promotion, Enhancing Social Protection and Strengthening Social Dialogue and Tripartism. The Programme wasextendedwiththeagreementandsupportofthetripartitepartnerstocovertheperiodupto2018toallowforbetteralignmentoftheDWCP2019-2023withthecountry’sfifthNationalDevelopmentPlan(NDP5),2017/18-2021/22,theUnitedNationsPartnershipAssistanceFramework(UNPAF)-2019-2023andtheILO’sStrategicPlanfor2018–21.Thenewprogramme(outlinedbelow)willcommencein2019andendin2023.
TheDWCP for2019-2023 isa resultofextensiveconsultationswith thegovernment ledby theMinistryofLabour,IndustrialRelationsandEmploymentCreation(MLIREC),employers’andworkers’organisationsandotherstakeholders,includingtheUNfamilyanddevelopmentpartners.InitialconsultationsforthesecondgenerationoftheprogrammebeganinMarch2017withameetingwithparticipantsfromgovernmentincludingtheOfficeofthePrimeMinister,NationalPlanningCommission,representativesfromWorkersandEmployersOrganizations,SocialSecurityCommissionandILOSpecialistsfromtheDecentWorkTeam(DWT)inPretoriaandtheILOCountryOfficeforZimbabweandNamibia.
ACountryProgrammeReview(CPR)wascompletedin2017andthekeyfindingsandlessonslearnedfromthepreviousDWCPinformedtheformulationofthisnewProgramme,especiallyinthecontextofnewglobal,continentalandnationaldevelopmentagendasledbytheSustainableDevelopmentGoals(SDGs),theAfricanUnion(AU)Agenda2063,theHarambeeProsperityPlan(HPP),theFifthNationalDevelopmentPlan(NDP5)andthenewUnitedNationsPartnershipAssistanceFramework(UNPAF)roll-out.
AlignedwiththeNDP5andtheUNPAF2019-2023,theDWCPseekstocontributetothebroadprioritiesoneconomicprogression,socialtransformation,environmentalsustainability,andgoodgovernancethroughthefollowingthree(3)priorityareasofwork:
1. Promotingemploymentcreation, 2. Strengtheningsocialdialogueandindustrialrelations,and 3. Promotingsocialjusticeatwork
SupportbytheILOtotheGovernmentoftheRepublicofNamibiaandsocialpartnersfor2019-2023willbeguidedbythisstrategicplanningdocumentandthecorrespondingresultsframework. 2. Country context: Diagnostic and situation analysis
Sinceindependence,thecountry’seconomyhasgrownbyanaverageof4.5percentperannum,drivenbygrowthandcontributionofitsextractiveindustries.Thecountryrecordeditsslowestgrowthinrecentyears,registeringanestimatedgrowthofonly1.1percent in2016duetoweakperformancebythesecondary,tertiaryandprimaryindustries.Theeconomicgrowthfosteredmainlybytheminingindustryhasnotledtothedevelopmentofamanufacturingsector,nortosignificantjobcreation.
Agriculture contributes only 6.7 per cent to the economy, although it accounts for more than 10 per cent of totalemploymentinthecountrybecauseoflowproductivitylevelsduetolimitedindustrialisationinfarmingtechniquesandpoorinfrastructure(NPC2018).Theminingsector’sshareofemploymentatabout2percentisnoticeablylowerthanits11.3percentcontributiontotheGDP(NPC,2018).Theeconomyhasincreasinglybeengrowingbydiversifying,intoexportingfishandbeefandbecauseofaboominthetourismsector.Theservicessectoraccountsforthemajorshareofemployment,risingfromabout39percentin1997toover55percentin2004(WorldBank,2008).Employmentlevelsintheconstructionsectorhoweverfellbymorethan30percentin2016/17onthebackoffiscalausteritymeasures.

2.1. Fundamental principles and rights at work and civil protections
SeveralprovisionsunderArticle95ofTheNamibianNationalConstitution4refertospecificissuesrelatedtofundamentalprinciplesandrightsofworkersamongthem-equalityofwomen,safetyhealthforworkers,formationoftradeunions,receiptofpensionsandlivingwages.Chapter3oftheConstitutionalsoprotectsfundamentalhumanrightsandfreedomsunderArticles5,9,10,15,and21covering:freedomofassociation,therighttoformtradeunions,freedomfromchildandforcedlabour,non-discriminationandtherighttowithholdlabourwithoutcriminalpenalties.
Aseriesof labour lawreformshavesoughttomovethecountrytowardsasystemofsocialpartnershipentrenchingfundamentalrightsandprotections.TheLabourActof2007(Act11of2007)introducedtheprohibitionofdiscriminationandsexualharassmentinemploymentasafundamentalright,aswellasintroducingasimplifiedsystemofalternativelabour disputes. However, there are still some discrepancies between law and practice regarding constitutionalprovisions,subsidiarylaws,includingtheLabourActandtheprovisionsofkeyinternationallabourstandards.
Namibiahasratifiedfifteen(15)5internationallabourstandards,includingalleightcoreConventions,4outof177ofthetechnicalConventions,3out4ofthegovernanceConventionsandrecently,P029-Protocolof2014totheForcedLabourConvention,1930.AlthoughithasnotratifiedtheDomesticWorkersConvention,2011(No.189),Namibiahastakenspecificmeasurestopromotetherightsofdomesticworkers,includingthesettingofadomesticminimumwageorder,aswellasbuildingthecapacitiesfortheextensionoflabourinspectorateservices.Overtheyears,theILOsupervisorybodieshaveprovidedcommentsandrequestsforinformationontheapplicationofratifiedandunratifiedinternationallabourstandards inkeyareasof: freedomofassociation (C087)andcollectivebargaining (098), forced labourandchild labour (C105,C029,C138,C182), labouradministration (C150), tripartiteconsultations (C144), terminationofemployment,discriminationinemploymentandoccupation(C100)andequalremuneration(C111).
TheGovernmenthascarriedoutconsultationsandresearchonthepossibilityofratifyingConventionsandisactivelyengagedindiscussionsonthenewstandardonviolenceandharassmentintheworldofworkandthegeneralstrengtheningoftheapplicationofgenderequalitystandardsinlawandpractice.Thegapsareexpectedtobeaddressedthroughtheon-goinglabourlawreformprocess.Namibia,asamemberoftheSADCEmploymentandLabourSector(ELS)hasendorsedtheSADCILSpolicy,whichentails,interalia,compliancewiththeeightcoreConventionsandratificationofallgovernanceConventions.Aspartofthatcommitment,Namibiahas,asof20September2018ratifiedthefollowingconventions:WorkintheFishingSector,2007(C188),EmploymentPolicyConvention,1964(C122),LabourInspectionConvention,1984(C81)andLabourRelations(PublicService)Convention,1978(C151).TheconventionswillenterintoforceforNamibiaon20September2019.
2.1.1. Child and forced labour; Trafficking in Persons (TiP ) and labour migration
Inrecenttimes,limitedreportingsuggeststhatNamibiamaybeasourceanddestinationcountryfortraffickedchildren;however,themagnitudeofthisproblemisunknown.Itissuspectedthatthelargestpercentagesoftraffickingvictimsarechildren.ThereisevidencethatasmallnumberofNamibianchildrenaretraffickedwithinthecountryfordomesticservitude,aswellasforcedagriculturallabour,cattleherdingandpossiblyvending.TherehavebeenafewreportedcasesofZambianandAngolanchildrentraffickedtoNamibiafordomesticservitude,agriculturallabour,andlivestockherding

(MGECW,2009).Namibiahascontinued to reinforce its legislationand institutions tocombat trafficking inpersons,particularlythroughtheadoptionoftheChildCareandProtectionActNo.3of2015,whichcriminalizestraffickinginchildrenforbothlabourandsexualexploitationandprovidesforprotectivemeasuresforvictims.NamibiaisalsointheprocessofpassingtheBillonCombatingTraffickinginPersons,astand-alonelawonTiP,whichnotonlycriminalizestheoffence,butalsomakesprovisionfortheprotectionofvictimsandcoordinationofvictimsupportservices.
Namibiaispartoftheregionalandcontinentaleffortstowardsthepromotionofmutuallybeneficial(labour)migrationthroughtheSADCProtocolonfacilitationofmovementofpersons. In thisregard,adraftNationalLabourMigrationPolicy has been developedwith ILO and IOM support for adoption by government. There are significant levels ofmigrantlabourinkeyeconomicandsocialsectors,includinghealthandeducationduetoskillsgapsinthelocallabourmarket.Datatosupport this iseithernotavailableor insufficient,asnoted intheMigrationProfileofNamibia(IOM,2006).Nevertheless,thereareindicationsofcross-bordermovementforfamilyreasons,economicandemploymentopportunities.Likewise,informationonemigrationisinadequateandthecontributionofremittanceflowstothenationaleconomyneedtobefurtheranalysed.
2.1.2. Gender equality and empowerment
Inthe2014GenderDevelopmentIndex,Namibiarankedamongthetoptierofcountrieswithahighscoreof0.981(outofapossible1.0).Thisstrongperformance is largelyattributedtotheshareofparliamentaryseatsheldbywomen;femaleattainmentinsecondaryandhighereducationandtheirlabourmarketparticipationrates(GRN,2017).Despitetheseadvances,disparitiesbetweenwomenandmenremaincommon.AccordingtotheNamibiaDemographicHealthSurvey2013,domesticviolenceisanendemicproblemandmaybethemostunderreportedformofviolence.GenderBasedViolence(GBV)isdeeplyentrenchedinharmfulsocio-culturalnormsthatunderminewomen’sdecision-makingabilityandcontributetowomen’spoorsocio-economicoutcomes.
Strategies to address the challenges above include increased financial and human capacity of service providers;strengthenedimplementationofgenderresponsivebudgetingandplanning;mainstreaminginformalbusinesses intothe formaleconomybecausewomenconstitute thebiggestcohort in thissectorandensuringfinancial inclusion forwomen inmedium, small andmicro enterprises (MSME) in agri-business, blue economy and extractive industries.Empoweringwomeninbusinessisakeystrategyofaddressinggrowthinthemanufacturingsectorbyensuringequalaccess for women, both as workers and as entrepreneurs, under the National Women Economic EmpowermentFrameworkProgramme.TheGRNlaunchedtherevisedNationalGenderPolicy2010-2020inMarch2012andupdatedtheNationalGenderPlanofAction,unfortunatelytheinstitutionsresponsibleforgendermainstreamingremainweakandunderfunded(AfDB,2014).
2.2. Employment
Thegovernmenthasput inplaceseveral initiatives tocreateemployment, includingaNationalEmploymentPolicy(NEP), thatwasfirstadopted in1997.Over theyears, implementationwashamperedbyweak linkages tonationaldevelopmentplanningandtheabsenceofclearimplementationstrategies.AnewNEPwasadoptedin2013/2014,butagainimplementationwashamperedbylackofownershipandadoptionrelevantsectoralministriesandgovernmentdepartments.Namibia is facingdauntingstructuralunemploymentand inspiteof increasinggrowthover theyears,unemploymenthaspushedmanypeopleintoworkingpovertyintheinformaleconomy.
In this regard, substantialanalyticalworkhasbeensupportedaround thepromotionofemployment includingskillsandentrepreneurshipopportunities forgreen jobs (2013/2014); skillsand trainingoutcomes (2016),decentwork inthe informaleconomy(2016),youthemploymentpotentialandasurveyof theenablingenvironment forsustainableenterprises (EESE) in 2017. There is need to develop a new growth path that is job rich through promoting andmainstreamingemploymentanddecentworkinnationaldevelopmentplanning.
ThepatternofemploymentinNamibiaessentiallyremainedunchangedsinceindependence.Community,socialandpersonalserviceshavebeenthemainsectors,closelyfollowedbyagricultureandwholesale/retail/hospitality6.Miningcontributesafewjobs,withcontributiontoemploymentinthemanufacturingalsoverylimitedat6.6percentin2016.Sixty-fivepercentoftheemployedpopulationwereininformalemploymentin2016.Thus,despitethemanyattemptstocreatemanufacturingjobsandtobringdownthehighrateofunemployment,Namibia’ssuccesssofarhasbeenlimited.
2.2.1. Formal and informal employment

employmenthasreached61.1percent(450,075)overall,andisat67.5percentforwomenand65.6percentformen.The industrial sectors, inwhich informal employmentwas particularlywidespreadwere agriculture (89.6 per cent),privatehouseholds(89.8percent),construction(75.3percent)and“otherserviceactivities”(70percent).
2.2.2. Unemployment
Thebroadunemploymentratein2016stoodat34percent,whilethestrictunemploymentratestoodat23.4percent.Disaggregationbysexshowsthatunemploymentamongwomenwasat38.3percent,significantlyhigherthanthe29.8percentformen.Theincreaseinunemploymentin2016wasdrivenbybothgrowthinthelabourforce,aswellasbyjoblossesintheeconomy.Moreworryingisthelevelofyouthunemployment,whichisat43.4percent,andthenumberofyouthsNotinEducation,Employment,orTraining(NEETs)isat34.5percent(NSA,2016LFS).Unemploymentamongpeoplewithdisabilities(PWDs)ishigherthanthenationalaverageat39percentleadingtohigherratesofpoverty,increaseddependencyandlesslegalprotection.Theserates,indicatethatalargepartofthepopulationisunproductiveandlimitstheabilityofNamibiatoreapthefullextentofitsdemographicdividendinthefuture.
2.2.3. Incomes
Eighteenpercentofthepopulationisestimatedtoliveunderthe$1.9perdayinternationalpovertylinein2016comparedto16.8percentin2015.The2016LabourForceSurveyputstheaveragewageofemployedNamibiansatN$6,759,withtheaveragewageformen(N$6,850)beinghigherthanthatofwomen(N$6,642).Thesectorswiththelowestaveragemonthlywagesweredomesticworkinprivatehouseholds(N$1,334)andtheagriculture,forestryandfisheriessector(N$2,252).ThroughMinisterialOrders,minimumwagesandconditionsofemploymentnegotiatedthroughcollectivebargainingcanbeextendedtocoverallvulnerableworkersincludingfarmworkers,securityguardsandconstructionworkers. In2017,thelowestoftheseminimumwagesappliedtofarmworkers(N$3.80perhour)whilethehighestminimumwagewasfortheconstructionindustry(N$16.04perhour).In2012,theGovernmentofNamibiaestablished,withILOsupport,itsfirstWageCommissiontoinvestigateconditionsofworkfordomesticworkers.Thiswastofacilitaterecommendationsleadingtoaminimumwage.ThefirstMinimumWageforDomesticWorkerscameintoeffectinApril2015andwassetatN$7.80perhourandincreasedtoN$8.67perhourinSeptember2017.TheILOhasfurtherbeensupportingafeasibilitytodevelopanationalminimumwage(NMW),aspartofthegovernmentactionplanundertheHPPtoreducehungerandpoverty.7
2.2.4. Skills, technical, and vocational education and training
Educationandtrainingoutcomesremainwellbelowexpectedstandardsconsideringthelevelofinvestment.Namibiahasashortageofskillsneededtoboostemployability,productivity,valueadditionanddiversification.Youthilliteracyishigh,whichresultsinascarcityofqualifiedworkersneededinthelabourmarket(UNESCO,20168).TechnicalandVocationalEducationandTraining(TVET)isfragmentedbetweendifferentprovidersandhasweaklinkageswithbasicandhighereducation,andbetweenitsowncomponents.Topromoteapprenticeshipsasawayofbridgingtheskillsgapsandmismatches,employersarepartneringwith theNationalTrainingAuthority(NTA).Further, toreduceskillsmismatchesandstrengthenschool-to-worktransition,reformstotheeducationandtrainingsystemsandsimplifyingbusinessregulationsarebeingconsideredand implementedas thebeststrategies thatwillyieldpositiveresultsonemploymentandemployability.
2.2.5. Sustainable enterprises and entrepreneurship development
Despitethesizeableincreaseofsmallandmediumenterprises(SMEs)andtheircontributionstojobsandtheeconomicoutput, SMEs are experiencing challenges that discourage investment, entrepreneurship, job creation and firmcompetitiveness(ILOEESE,2017).AnationalpolicyforSMEswasadoptedin2016topromoteSMEsasanintegralpartofthemainstreameconomytocontributetoemploymentcreationandpovertyreduction.The2017assessmentoftheEnablingEnvironmentforSustainableEnterprises(EESE)identifiedaneedforkeyimprovementsofthebusinessenvironment.Thekeypriorityconditionsidentifiedbythetripartiteconstituentswerea)creationofanenablinglegalandregulatoryenvironment(withanemphasisonformalization);b)education,trainingandlifelonglearning;andc)buildinganentrepreneurialcultureamongNamibians,especiallyamongyoungwomenandmen.AccordingtoUNESCO,(2016),potentialentrepreneursinNamibiafaceformidablebarriersthatstartwithunavailabilityofcredit,tolackcollateral,andbusinessmanagementskills.Mostsmallandmicro-enterprisesarefragilewhichcouldbesolvedbyentrepreneurshiptrainingbutthequalityofferedinmostformalVETcentresisnotofgoodstandard.

2.2.6. Green economy and a just transition
Asa country heavily reliant on extractives and use of its vast natural resources, theGovernment ofNamibia putsenvironmentalprotectionhighontheagenda.The2018-2021NDP5highlightsthatNamibiaisinternationallyrecognisedasaleaderinenvironmentalprotectionandnaturalresourceconservationandmanagement,bybeingthefirstnationintheworldtoincorporateenvironmentalprotectionintoitsconstitution.Forty-threepercentofthelandmassareaisunderprotectionbyeitherthestate(18percent,including976milesofcoastlineasanationalpark),communalconservanciesorprivateconservancies.Almostalloftheworld’soldestdesert,theNamib,isprotectedfromenvironmentaldamage.Namibia’sCommunityBasedNaturalResourceManagement (CBNRM)Planprovides incentives tocommunities tomanagewildlife and natural resources in sustainableways.There is however room for improvement, for example,if theycouldcreateclustersofconservanciesandcommunity forestswhich,beyondenvironmental,biodiversityandecosystemgains,thesewouldcreatelivelihoodsintheruraleconomyandalleviatepoverty(2018UNCCA).
Asacountryhighlyvulnerabletoclimatechange,Namibiahasstrengtheneditsclimatechangeadaptationandmitigationmeasuresinrecentyearsthroughclimateplansandpolicies.In2010,NamibiaadoptedtheNationalClimateChangePolicyandestablishedtheNationalAuthorityforClimateChange,whichisoperational.ItwasoneofthefirstcountriesinAfricatojointheNationallyDeterminedContribution(NDC)Partnershipandformalizeditsrequestfortechnicalassistancein 2018.To further fast-track climate action,Namibia released its strategy theNDCPartnership Plan to deliver itscommitmentstotheParisAgreementin2018.Despitesocio-economicconstraints,Namibiacontributesunconditionallyashareofitsresourcestocombatclimatechange(SouthernAfricanClimateFinancePartnership,2017).
AlthoughNamibiacontributesaminimumamounttoglobalgreenhousegasemissions,climatechangepresentsthecountrywithexcellentopportunitiestomovetowardslowcarbonandclimateresilientdevelopment(RepublicofNamibia,2016).Greenjobsasameanstocreatemoreanddecentemploymenthasbeenreceivingincreasedattentionsince2012.Inafirstattempttorespondtothisdevelopment,theILOprovidedtechnicalassistanceintheformofapilotprojectin2013/2014toboostSMEproductivityandimprovethequalityofworkplacesinwastemanagementSMEs.Greenjobswereexplicitlyidentifiedasastrategicpillarforjobcreationinthe2013/2014NationalEmploymentPolicy.Thereisgreatpotentialtogenerategreen,decentjobsespeciallyinagriculture,mining,transport,renewableenergy(solarandwind),hospitalityindustry,wastemanagement(biomass),housing,eco/nature-basedtourismandeco-systemmanagement(de-bushing).Toembarkonajusttransitiontoanenvironmentallysustainablesociety,andbuildagreener,low-carbonandmoreresilienteconomy,thereishoweveraneedtocreateanenablingenvironmentthroughpolicycoordinationandcoherence(includingwiththeNDCPartnershipPlanandothernationalenvironmentalstrategiesandpolicies).Thesewouldalsoincludesocialdialogue;socialprotection;publicawareness;proactivepreparationstoadapttoandmitigatetheeffectsofclimatechange;transformationalcollaborativemechanisms;andtodevelopandadaptskillsnecessaryforgreeninvestmentandgreeneconomicdevelopment.
2.2.7 Labour market information
Since1997,sixLabourForceSurveys(1997,2000,2004,2008,2012&2016)havebeenconductedinthecountryatmoreorlessregularintervalsofeveryfouryears.DespitetheseandothereffortsthroughtheNamibiaStatisticalAgency(NSA)tomeetthedemandsofusersoflabourstatisticsatnationallevel,aswellasSADC,AU,ILOandotherglobalplatforms; therearestillmajorgaps indecentwork indicators(DWIs),particularly inrelationto thegrowing informaleconomy.SupportwasextendedtotheNSAtopilot-testthe19thICLSResolutionontheMeasurementofWork.ItisexpectedthatthenewmethodologywillbedeployedinfuturelabourforcesurveystogiveabetteranalysisofthelabourmarketinNamibia.SubmissionshavebeenmadebyNamibiatoSADCandtheILOonemploymenttrendsandSDGs,albeitwithgapsinsomekeyDWIs.TheNSAandtheMLIREChavesubmittedrequestsforsupporttoestablishonlineplatformsforLMItocaptureandsharedataandinformationonthelabourmarket.
2.3. Social dialogue and tripartism; and labour administration
2.3.1. Social dialogue and tripartism
KeyinstitutionsthatareintegraltosocialdialogueinNamibiaincludetheLabourAdvisoryCouncil(LAC),theSocialSecurityCommission(SSC),theEmploymentServiceBoard(ESB)andtheEmploymentEquityCommission(EEC).The LAC was established under the LabourAct of 1992, in order to fulfil obligations under the ILO internationallabourConventionNo.144onTripartiteConsultations.ThemainpurposeoftheLACistoadviseonmatterssuchascollectivebargaining,nationalpoliciesonemploymentconditionsandoccupationalsafetyandhealth,labourlegislation,unemploymentandILOaffairs,amongothers.

Thelabouradministrationsystemandrelatedpolicyareasarespreadacrossministriesinchargeoflabour,education(vocationaltraining);gender(genderequality);health(socialservices);homeaffairs(accesstothelocallabourmarket);poverty (social protection), as well as statutory bodies, such as theOffice of the Labour Commissioner; Office oftheEqualTreatmentCommissioner and theSocial SecurityCommission, among others. In 2012, the ILO througha technicalmemorandum recommended the need to review the organizational structure of theMinistry in order tosystematicallystructureitsservices(labour,employment,industrialrelations,andsocialprotection).ImplementationoftherecommendationshavebeenheldbackbybudgetaryconstraintsandlackofenablingprovisionsunderthecurrentLabourAct.Thereisneedtostrengthencapacitiesofthelabourinspectoratetoincreasethecoverageofitsinspectionsandintegratebothgeneralandoccupationallabourinspections.Thememorandumalsorecommendedthecreationofanagencyresponsiblefordisputeresolution.

3.2. Lessons learned from previous DWCP implementations
DetailedreviewsoftheimplementationoftheDWCPNamibiawereundertakenin2012and2017andaDecentWorkCountryProfilewasdevelopedin2013.Thekeyfindingsofthereviewwerethattheco-operationbetweenthevariousstateagenciesdealingwitheconomicandlabourissuesisoftenpoor,whichunderminesthepossibilitiesofcreatingmoreanddecentjobs.AlthoughanewNationalEmploymentPolicywaslaunchedin2013,itdidnotresultinanoticeablenumberofnewjobscreated.Limitedresources,delayscausedbystaffchangesandcapacityconstraintswithinandamongstgovernment,unionsandemployersalsohamperedimplementation.
ThereviewfoundthatILOprogrammesaremosteffective, if theyarelocallyownedanddrivenandif localcapacityexists.Support to social partners todevelop their capacitywas identifiedas crucial andshouldbe intensifiedasapreconditionforthespeedyandeffectiveachievementofDWCPgoalsinfuture.TheHIVandAIDSinitiativesofpastyearsshowedsomepositiveresultsbuttheHIVandAIDSsectionwithintheMinistry’sOccupationalSafetyandHealthDivisionhasnotyetbecomeoperationalandtheCodeandGuidelinesonHIVandAIDSwerenotyetfinalised.ThereviewfoundthatthecurrentinitiativesoftheMLIRECregardingoccupationalsafetyandhealthconditionsatworkneedsupportandthatanexpandedLabourInspectorateneedstobecreated.
TheDecentWorkCountryProfilehighlightedsomekeychallengestoachievingdecentworkinNamibia.Itfoundthatprescribedminimumwageswereoftennotpaid,withadherenceratesof41percentinconstruction,51percentinthesecurityindustryand64percentinagriculture.Addedtothisaretherelativelylowwages,inrelationtocostofliving,andexcessivehoursofwork(morethan48hoursperweek)arewidespreadandaffectaboutathirdofNamibia’semployedpopulation.However,mostlabourdisputesinNamibiaariseoutofterminationsofemploymentandworryingly,thereisanincreasingproportionofworkersinprecariousformsofemployment.

3.3. The ILO’s and tripartite partner’s comparative advantage and possible risks
Thecross-cuttingnatureofseveralareasoftheDWCPrequirescoherentcollaborationbetweenstakeholders.DuringthefirstDWCP,thishasprovendifficultevenamongstgovernmentagencies.TheDWCPisseeningovernmentasthe“baby”oftheMLIREC,whiletheIndustrializationStrategyfallsinthedomainoftheMinistryofIndustrialization,TradeandSMEDevelopment(MITSMED)andtheNDPsaretheresponsibilityoftheNationalPlanningCommission.Thecurrentpracticeofeachagencyworkingontheirowncanonlyunderminetheeffectivenessofaddressingcross-cuttingissueslikeemployment,inequality,povertyandtheinformaleconomy.
Anexampleofthecontinuouschallengesofinter-agencyrelationswasthewaytheNDP5wasdeveloped.Tradeunionscomplain that theywerenotconsulted in its formulation,whileemployersweresuperficiallyconsulted.Ontheotherhand,itwasencouragingthattheprioritiesofthefirstDWCPweremainstreamedandintegratedintotheMLIREC’scoreactivities,suchasimprovedlabourinspections,improvedhealthandsafetystandards,HIVandwellnessprogrammesattheworkplaceanddevelopinganemploymentpolicyinconsultations,notonlywithemployersandunionsbutalsootherMinistriesandtheNamibiaInformalSectorOrganization(NISO).ThisclosecooperationbetweentheILOandtheMLIREC,aswellassocialpartnerscanprovideabasisforthesuccessfulimplementationofthesecondDWCP.

TherearevariousriskswhichmightunderminetheachievementsoftheDWCPoutcomes.TheausteritypolicythatNamibiahasfollowedsince2016,whichresultedinreducedfundingforvariousMinistriesandthecancellationordelayofinfrastructureprojectsisperhapsthegreatestofthem.IntheMLIREC,forexample,thecutinfundinghasmeantthatnewpositionsforadditionallabourinspectorswereapprovedbutcouldnotbefilled.Theausterityprogramme,whichbearssimilaritieswiththestructuraladjustmentprogrammesimplementedelsewhereinAfricasincethe1980,thereforeposesathreattothesuccessfulimplementationoftheDWCP.
Tomitigate this risk, the tripartiteconstituentswillexplorevariousoptions,among them, toengage therelevantUNAgencies for resourcemobilisationunder theUNPAF2019-2023. Other risksareassociatedwith thestakeholders’abilitytodeliver.StaffchangeswithinMinistries,alackofurgency,capacityconstraintsamongstemployersandtradeunionsallhavethepotentialtounderminetheachievementofDWCPoutcomes.ThiswasclearlyvisibleduringtheimplementationofthefirstDWCPprogrammeandthustheSteeringCommitteeandthesocialpartnerswillnowhavetoprovethattheyarefitforpurpose.Thiswillrequirepoliticalwillfromallconstituents,aswellascontinuouscapacity-developmentprogrammesneededtoachievetheDWCPgoals,particularlyintheareasofgenderequality,collectivebargainingandsocialdialogue.Suchsupportprogrammesmightmitigateagainsttherisksposedbyagenerallackofcapacity.
Another risk associated with employment creation is the influence of economic structures covered with massunemployment on the creation of decent jobs. Mass unemployment tends to put downward pressure on workingconditions,astheunemployedpresenta“reservearmyoflabour”thatisdesperatetoacceptanyjobunderalmostanycondition.Thismightunderminethemovetowardsdecentjobsandalivingwageandthus,thecreationofsubstantialnumbersofnewjobsmightbeapreconditionforsuccessfulcollectivebargainingthatcoversthemajorityofemployedNamibians.
