Recognition of religion or belief in Namibia
According to the standards set out in the SRR, conditions for RoRB in the Republic of Namibia are classified apathetic.
Overview:
Recognition and registration are amalgamated rather than ideally differentiated; provisions are given only for legal registration, none for existential recognition.
There are two categories for legal registration: nonprofit organisations and voluntary associations; the degree to which these two forms of legal registration are equal remains unclear.
Positive elements:
Freedom of religion or belief is generally upheld by the government in practice.
Recommendations:
Establish distinct provisions for existential recognition which would establish a recognition system; the degree to which such a system is inclusive of “traditional religions” and NRMs will determine the country’s classification as either receptive or dynamic.
Establish a recognition agency to manage this recognition system that acts and makes decisions independent of government.
