Abstract

This study examines the challenges and opportunities faced by businesses in Namibia following a period of conflict. Qualitative research methods were employed, including semi-structured interviews with business owners and sector experts in Namibia. Data analysis involved thematic coding of interview transcripts. Businesses reported significant difficulties in securing financing due to perceived high risk, yet there was also evidence of growing interest from international investors seeking stable markets. The study concludes that while post-conflict environments present risks, they also offer opportunities for businesses willing to adapt their strategies and navigate new market dynamics. Businesses are advised to develop robust risk management strategies and seek partnerships with local stakeholders to foster trust and support in the recovery phase.
