The purpose of this study is to investigate whether the Flexible Land Tenure System (FLTS) in

Namibia is in line with the Fit-For-Purpose (FFP) land administration approach which is

developed in order to implement the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) at national and

local level in developing countries by providing tenure security to poor people and creating

country-wide land recordation systems. The FFP approach is based on a Minimum Viable

Product focusing on the specific local tenure security needs, flexibility on survey accuracy,

legal and institutional frameworks and an incremental improvement as a foundation for

further development. The study is based on a literature study of the SDGs, the FFP approach

and the FLTS in Namibia. The literature study is based on contemporary theories on land

administration and how access to tenure security can contribute to poverty alleviation. The

study indicates that certain elements of the FLTS are complying with the characteristics of the

FFP approach and thus has potential to contribute to fulfilling the SDGs in Namibia. There is

however a need for further in-depth academic research.
