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).
