patterns from small-scale individuals to larger cooperatives may be necessary. In order to estimate the cost of improving reliable access to agricultural water some of the cultivated area, a unit cost of US$5000 per ha was used. This unit cost was developed in an earlier study conducted by the World Bank for all of Africa. 32 Table 60: Summary of recovery needs Activities Medium-Recovery Needs (N$ million) Long-Term Reconstruction Needs (N$ million) Providing Food (Course Grains Only) 43.7 Rehabilitating Cropland Rehabilitation 721.1 Restocking of Fish Ponds .77 Improving reliable access to agricultural water 4,000.0 Total 765.6 16,600.0 Ten thousand hectares is proposed as a target, in accordance with NDP3 which considers an additional 10,000 hectares under irrigation. However, NDP3 suggests that the key activity should be to implement the green schemes which are more capital intensive investments than the proposed investments in small-scale multi purposes water infrastructure. 32 Lessons from Irrigation Investment Experiences: Cost-reducing and Performance-enhancing Options for sub-Saharan Africa, International Water Management Institute, August 2005. This study involves collaboration among the African Development Bank (ADB), Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), International Fund for Agricultural Development (IFAD), International Water Management Institute (IWMI), New Partnership for Africa’s Development (NEPAD), and the World Bank. 79
Annex 5 Industry and Commerce Pre-disaster Situation The economy of Namibia is known to be strongly based on rich mining resources. The mining sectors account, in terms of GDP contribution, for an average of 17.9 percent during the period 2004–2007, with a peak of 21.7 percent in 2006, as shown in the Table below. The Government is committed to stimulating economic growth and employment. To that end, industrialization and exports are considered among the first priorities where special efforts have to be undertaken in order to sustain national economic policy. Incentives are largely concentrated on stimulating manufacturing enterprises in Namibia and promoting exports into the region and to the rest of the world. Current tax and non-tax based incentive regimes are designed to give Namibia-based entrepreneurs who invest in manufacturing and re-export trade a competitive edge. The Export Processing Zone (EPZ) is one of these newly-established incentives. In terms of national account, secondary industries, mainly manufacturing, and tertiary industries, wholesales and retail trade, are among the top three sectors contributing to the GDP. Manufacturing and wholesale and retail trade contributed 11.0 percent and 10.9 percent, respectively, to Namibia’s GDP in 2004. As shown in Table 61 below, in 2007, these two sectors were still among the top three highest contributors to GDP, with 14.3 percent and 9.9 percent of the total GDP, respectively. Yet, if consideration is given to all sectors, tertiary industries are the most important ones in terms of GDP contribution.
