How successful have Southern African states been in dealing with the major issues that have faced the region in recent years? What could be done to produce more cohesive and effective region-building in Southern Africa? In this original and wide-ranging volume, which draws on an interdisciplinary team of mainly African and African-based specialists, the key political, socio-economic, and security challenges facing Southern Africa today are addressed. These include the various issues confronting the Southern African Development Community (SADC) and its institutions; such as HIV/AIDS, migration and xenophobia, land-grabbing and climate change; and the role of the main external actors involved with the region, including the United Nations, the European Union, the United States, and China. The book also looks at the Southern African Customs Union and Southern African Development Finance Institutions, including the Development Bank of Southern Africa and Industrial Development Corporation, and issues of gender and peacebuilding. In doing so, the book goes to the heart of analyzing the effectiveness of SADC and other regional organisation, suggesting how region-building in Southern Africa may be compared with similar attempts elsewhere in Africa and other parts of the world.

The Namibia chapter in the Beyond Inequalities series was produced by the University and Namibia and the WIDSAA Programme of SARDC. Gender machinery in Namibia is relatively new, hence the importance of monitoring and evaluating at community and national levels. This publication focuses on the post-Beijing legal reforms in the country. It summarises information on the position of women in Namibia in relation to economic, politics, health, socio-cultural environments and the law. It considers policies formulated by the government of Namibia, with input from NGOs, such as the National Gender Policy, and findings from studies conducted on behalf of the Ministry of Women Affairs and Child Welfare. Overall, the study brings to the fore pertinent issues that require urgent redress with particular regard for poverty, illiteracy, inequality, oppression and HIV/AIDS, outlining recommendations for improvement.
