Their economic, marginalization is compounded by their ethnic background a stigma that also marginalizes them politically and socially. It also examined the efforts that Namibian government and non state actors have made towards improving the livelihoods among the San community. Only samples of 15 San households were selected using purposive sampling. To achieve the objectives the researcher used both the qualitative research design which entailed the use of interviews, questionnaires and desk study. The results were based on the information captured in the questionnaires and qualitative face to face interactions.
