Africa-Press – Namibia. THE Integrated Regional Land Use Plan is a new modelling approach aimed at allocating the most suitable and sustainable land use within a region and provides development scenarios for the region based on participatory land use planning tools. In 2021, Minister of Agriculture, Water and Land Reform Calle Schlettwein launched the official commencement of the development process.
At a regional workshop for Oshana Integrated Regional Land Use Planning held at Oshakati recently, Oshana governor Elia Irimari said the development of an integrated regional land use plan is focused on finding solutions to the efficient and sustainable utilization of land in the region.
Irimari stated that the aim of the workshop was to bring together all stakeholders to share and exchange views on current and future development as well as land utilization in the Oshana Region.
“This will promote the development of a coordinated land use and development strategy to harmonize competing and overlapping land use,” he said. Irimari stated that the development of the land use plan applies the principle of participatory bottom-up approaches and sector integration.
He said people should ensure that while they address the current need for land, they should also make sure that there is enough land for future generations.
