| Abstract: | Environmental Impact Assessment developed and become part of the most important project requirements in many countries including Namibia since its introduction in the United State of America in 1969. It played a significant role by contributing to sustainable development and reducing poverty in the lives of people affected by the projects in both developed and developing countries, unlike in the previous years when it was only accessible in the developed countries. So, the objectives of this study were to evaluate the performance and effectiveness of the EIA system in Namibia using two effectiveness criteria namely; procedural effectiveness and substantive effectiveness as well as to identify the strengths and weaknesses of the EIA system from the ReconAfrica case study. This study used the impact assessment and project appraisal framework (Chanchitpricha, Morris & Bond, 2019) as tools to evaluate the performance and effectiveness of the EIA system in Namibia. The study evaluated the EIA system of Namibia using ReconAfrica case study reports as its sample and sampling procedures. The Data were collected based on online research through Google scholar along with the Google website, ReconAfrica case study reports, Newspapers, Social media sites such as ReconAfrica Facebook page, NBC news-8 Facebook page and Newspaper's Facebook pages, and other websites as well as academic databases available to the researcher, which include Science Direct (documentary analysis and content analysis). Thematic and documentary analysis methods were used to analyze the data for this study. The performance and effectiveness of the EIA system in Namibia are considered to be effective and efficient as the practitioners and proponents often took the framework into account and adhered to laws and regulations. This led to the EIA system fitting the framework and meeting the performance of EIA by describing how the EIA system should be adapted to the adopted framework. The EIA process of Namibia achieved objective sets, supports well-informed decision-making which results in environmental protection, and is being carried out according to established expectations, complying with procedures, following best practice principles, and adhering to regulations. EIA system of Namibia has strengths and weaknesses and it can be fully evaluated even with bias and shortcomings within the system as these can be mitigated with the right procedures.
