Assessment 3: 27 SEPTEMBER 2022 The Government of the Republic of Namibia has to make a strategic decision about permitting large-scale multi-billion-dollar operations for the extraction of oil and gas in the Kavango Region. The operations will include the building of a 1000 km railway, upgrading of infrastructure, and the relocation of local communities in the region. As a member of the advisory team to the Government of the Republic of Namibia, it falls upon you to contribute to the drafting of a "positions-in-principle" paper that would support the mine contract negotiations with identified multinational corporations in the business of oil & gas extraction. Assume that the Government of the Republic of Namibia is keen to go ahead with the proposed operations, including the construction of the railroad and the upgrading of the infrastructure in the local community. The Government of the Republic of Namibia will need any risks to be addressed in the mining agreement with the multinational corporations successfully pitching to obtain the mining contract. You know that the negotiations will likely have to address the following issues (hereafter "focus areas"), among others: i. Environmental concerns; ii. Benefits to local communities; iii. Employment and training of locals, procurement of local goods and services; iv . Revenue percentages to the state; v. Mine closure plan and concomitant obligations; and vi. Prevention of corruption. From the above list of selected focus areas, identify any two (2) on which to write short (1500 word including the reference list) expositions each for the "positions-in-principle" paper. In your expositions, take specific heed of the Government of the Republic of Namibia's national development policies and/or international obligations that would inform a decision to go ahead with permitting the operations for largescale extraction of oil & gas as indicated. Conclude each exposition with a proposed basic formulation for the clause(s) to deal with the particular concerns and commitments you have identified in each of your three chosen focus areas
