ABSTRACT
This paper looked at human resource development and the utilisation of expatriates in
Namibia's Ministries of Health and Social Services and Basic Education, Sports and
Culture. The two ministries are among those which were projected to continue to
suffer from scarcities of skilled and professional human resources by the National
Planning Commission (NPC, 2002). The broad objective of the study is to establish
the progress made in addressing skills shortages and replacement of expatriates in the
two government ministries. The study has used secondary data obtained through the
study of documents and primary data generated through interviews. The paper
concludes that there will continue to be shortages of medical doctors, pharmacists and
other specialists in the country as also stated in the Namibia Vision 2030. Government
is therefore urged to take policy measures that can improve the current forecasted
future. In education, the study confirms that since independence, there have been
major improvements in indicators such as school enrolment rates, learners to teacher's .
ratio, adult literacy rates, and development of infrastructure. However, the challenges
facing education is of having too many teachers in the wrong specialisations. The
ministry has gone a step further by articulating in a policy statement what are the
needs in terms of teacher specialisation. It is rather too early to tell if this policy will
be followed.
