The potential of small and medium wind energy in developing countries

Transformative Scenario Planning (TSP) is an approach that brings concerned stakeholders from different, often conflicting, perspectives together around pressing sets of problems to build stories that illustrate a range of potential futures that could come from taking different paths for dealing with those issues.

Semi-arid regions in Namibia are characterised by high rainfall variability, persistent droughts and floods, and extreme temperatures. In addition, there is weak governance and structural inequalities that exacerbate the vulnerability of communities.

Climate change is increasingly recognised as a challenge to sustaining the livelihoods and wellbeing of the people in Namibia.

This report summarises the outcomes of the Stakeholder and Influence Network Mapping exercise undertaken on the 23rd of July 2015 in Windhoek, Namibia.

North-central Namibia is more vulnerable to effects of climate change and variability. Combined effects of environmental degradation, social vulnerability to poverty and a changing climate will compromise subsistence farming in north-central Namibia (NCN). This will make subsistence and small-scale farmers in the region more vulnerable to projected changes in the climate system.
