Effectiveness and efficiency of a public-private partnership arrangement: A case study of perceptions on the Ward Contractor System in the City of Windhoek, Namibia.
No full textThis research project undertaken during sabbatical leave from the NUST.The item was published in 2010 as: Enhancing urban service delivery through partnerships in Namibia: Perceptions on a public-private partnership arrangement in Namibia / by Charles Keyter. Saarbrucken, Germany: LAP Lambert Publishing, 2010.Public private partnerships (PPP) have become an important instrument in sub-national government’s development assistance. PPP also adds a new variant to cooperation between governments and the economy of their countries. It concerns the establishment of purposeful joint business ventures at programme level, which aims at providing a more efficient and effective service delivery. Furthermore, the aim of PPP arrangements is to ensure that the approach being use is pro poor. In this regard the City of Windhoek has embarked on such a PPP arrangement to enhance the living conditions of the residents within the city, create an entrepreneurial spirit amongst small scale independent providers and to ensure that the most vulnerable groups within the Namibian society, women, benefit from this arrangement.
The purpose of this project is to determine the effectiveness and efficiency of the ward contractor project based on the perceptions of the various stakeholders involved in the project. The ultimate aim is to investigate the link between the theory and the practice and that this specific project lives up to its goals and objectives. This project will generate knowledge that will be of benefit to decision makers, practionaries and scholars interested in PPP within the Namibian, regional and international context. The knowledge gain with this project will be disseminated at local, regional and international forums to enhance the subject field and practice of public-private partnership and entrepreneur ship

Yvonne Vera's narrative craft.
No full textThis article addresses Yvonne Vera's narrative craft because the numerous studies on Vera's works have not fully discussed this aspect of her writing. Moreover, the failure to appreciate Vera's narrative style may explain why her writings have sometimes been misinterpreted. Based on a critique of Vera's six creative works, the article is informed by a reading strategy called postcolonial critical theory whose objective is to bring to light in literary texts all the implications of colonial domination (Walder, 1998, p. 3). The article argues that despite the huge challenges sometimes posed by Vera's unconventional narratology, her oeuvre is recommended for study in tertiary institutions
Design and development of solar concentrator for thermal applications.
No full textParabolic mirror surfaces are found wherever energy needs to be focused effectively and accurately. They are found built into car headlights, spotlights as well as astronomical telescopes. This research concerns the study of transformation of solar energy into thermal energy and focusing this energy at a point to heat water.
In this document the parabola was explored to design a simple, cheap and effective solar water heater. Local communities in Namibia can produce similar water heaters using available materials and the fuel; sunlight is abundant throughout the year in most areas.
The main part of the heater, the collector can have any shiny material as long as it refracts the sun’s rays. In this project a parabolic solar concentrator was designed and constructed to heat water at the focal point, which is then stored in a tank for use.NUS
