Policy responses to the growth of the informal food sector in African cities vary from benign neglect to active destruction. The eradication of street food vending is the dominant mode of governance. Alternative approaches that recognize the inevitability of informality and the role of the sector in making food accessible to the urban poor have begun to emerge. One is an enclose-and-contain model that creates spaces for trading and seeks to confine trading to these spaces through active policing. This strategy has been pursued in Windhoek, Namibia but has been compromised by consumer demand, which is not satisfied by the city’s approved markets, and by the actions of street traders who cluster at key locations and force tacit official recognition. This paper examines the origins and development of the resulting hybrid model of informalized containment, as well as the profile of consumers who patronize both types of markets.

非正式收容：纳米比亚温得和克的食品市场和非正规食品部门的治理

非洲城市对非正规食品部门发展的政策反应从良性的忽视到积极的破坏都有所不同。消除街头食品贩卖是治理的主要方式。认识到非正式性的必然性以及该部门在使城市穷人获得食物方面的作用的替代方法已经开始出现。一种是封闭和封闭的模型，该模型创建了交易空间并试图通过主动监管将交易限制在这些空间内。在纳米比亚的温得和克一直采用这种策略，但由于消费者需求（该市批准的市场无法满足需求）以及聚集在关键位置并被默许的官方认可的街头商人的行为而受到损害。
