Beyond borders: Citizens perspectives on a shifting global order

27/07/2026

Access to justice requires court cases that produce fair and timely rulings, and that people can afford.

Do Africans believe they can obtain these things in their country? How does economic status affect these views?

Our latest piece in The Continent has the details.

As we wrap up the week, here's a data story worth pausing on: Namibia has made real progress on education access, but new Afrobarometer data (collected by Survey Warehouse in Namibia) shows rural and poor citizens are still being left behind.
Rural vs. Urban
Rural residents are less likely than their urban counterparts to have gone beyond secondary school (17% vs. 26%), and more likely to have only primary schooling (26% vs. 14%) or no formal education at all (8% vs. 3%).
Rich vs. Poor
Well-off Namibians are four times as likely as the poorest respondents to have post-secondary education (49% vs. 12%).
Young vs. Old
15% of Namibians over 55 report having no formal education, compared to just 3-6% among younger generations.

Closing this gap means investing where it's needed most: in rural schools and in support for the poorest families.

Afrobarometer data shows Namibians are losing faith in government's handling of education. Despite major policy reforms aimed at inclusive education and sustained government investment, satisfaction with education has declined sharply over the past decade, even as it has become one of citizens' top priorities.

Key findings:
📉 Poor ratings of government's education performance have more than tripled, from 20% (2014) to 62% (2024). Negative assessments have outweighed positive ones consistently since 2019.
📈 Education has risen from the 7th most cited national problem in 2021 to 2nd today, trailing only unemployment.

Education ranks as the second-most-important problem that Namibians want their government to address, up from seventh place in 2021. Only unemployment places higher on the citizens’ agenda.

Namibia's courts outperform the continental average on nearly every measure of public trust.
63% of Namibians trust they can get justice through the courts (Africa avg: 50%)
52% trust the courts overall (avg: 44%)
51% say people are treated equally under the law (avg: 38%)
46% believe judges rule on the law, not political pressure (avg: 41%)
Namibians clearly believe in the integrity of their justice system. The next challenge is making sure that trust translates into real, affordable access for everyone.

⏰ Final Reminder: MSME Survey Closes Today

Why it matters: Your input directly shapes the policies and support systems that affect your business. MSMEs are the backbone of Namibia's economy and job creation – but too little is known about the real, day-to-day pressures you face: access to finance, red tape, infrastructure, and skills gaps.

This survey closes that gap, giving you a direct say in the solutions designed to support you.

Takes just 20–25 minutes, fully voluntary and confidential.
👉 Complete it now: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/MSMEBusSur

Every response strengthens the case for better support – don't miss your chance to be counted.

Namibia has had some landmark legal wins for LGBTQ+ rights in recent years, but a new IPPR Namibia report, drawing on Survey Warehouse's Afrobarometer data among other sources, suggests those gains are more fragile than they appear.
As the report puts it: "Namibia has moved from criminalisation toward a contested and fragile tolerance — but it has not moved toward protection."
And its conclusion is sobering: "Without explicit constitutional protection, comprehensive anti-discrimination legislation, and sustained counter-narrative advocacy, the gains of the past three years can be, and are being, clawed back. Uhuru — for LGBT Namibians — remains a horizon, not yet a home."

A new report by the Institute for Public Policy Research (IPPR) argues that while Namibia has recorded significant legal advances for LGBTQ+ rights in recent years, those gains...
