Abstract

In recent years Namibia has received a number of proposals from multinational agricultural corporations to develop large-scale irrigation projects, mainly in the country’s water-rich, north-eastern regions (Odendaal 2011). However, only a few of these proposed large-scale projects have materialised (Sulle, Thiem and Muduva 2014), and other more localised forms of competition over land and its natural resources are having a significant impact on affected communities (Muduva 2014: 1).
