11111 Media Monitoring on Urban Development in Namibia Media Monitoring on Urban Development in Namibia is a service provided by Development Workshop Namibia (DWN), a Namibian NGO with a focus on sustainable urban development and poverty reduction. DWN is part of a world-wide network of Development Workshop (DW) organisations with centres in Canada, Angola and France, and offices in Vietnam and Burkino Faso. It was founded in the 1970s by three architect students in the UK and has been funded by non- governmental organisations, private citizens, and national and international development organisations. In Namibia, DWN’s activities focus on urban related research, effective urban planning for the urban poor, solutions to informal settlements, water & sanitation, and projects specifically targeting disadvantaged segments of the urban youth. Through 40 years of engagement on urban issues mainly in Africa and Asia, the DW network of organisations has acquired significant institutional knowledge and capacity and is well integrated in regional and international networks. The Namibian media provide an important source of information on urban development processes in the country, highlighting current events, opportunities and challenges. The media further provide insight into the different views and perceptions of a variety of actors, be it from government, non- government, private sector, and individuals that reside in Namibia’s towns and settlements. It is therefore hoped that DWN’s Media Monitoring service will provide insights into those different views, with potential use for a variety of institutions and decision-makers that work in the urban environment in Namibia. The Media Monitoring service is currently provided on a monthly basis and monitors the following newspapers: The Namibian, Republikein, Namibian Sun, New Era, Windhoek Observer, Confidente, and Informante. -
FNB HOUSING INDEX Report for Quarter 3, 2006
FNB HOUSING INDEX Report for Quarter 3, 2006 Introduction This quarter marks the introduction of a new base period which is Quarter 1 of 2006 of the FNB Quarterly Housing Index. This means that Quarter 2 and Quarter 3 of 2006 were benchmarked against Quarter 1 of 2006. The resetting of the base period was as a result of the inclusion of five additional suburbs/areas as reflected in the previous report for Quarter 2, 2006. As a reminder, the additional suburbs/areas are Auasblick, Brakwater, Goreangab, Okuryangava and Wanaheda. The Windhoek overall quarterly index shows a relatively slow increase of 11.6%, a situation that is in line with the economic fundamentals such as rising interest rates and a lower increase in the demand for home loan credit of 3.6% (June to August 2006) compared to an increase of 5.9% in the previous quarter (March to May 2006). This quarter’s index showed relatively small increases or decreases in all the suburbs except for Brakwater, Academia, Eros Park and Hochland Park where moderate to high increases were recorded. These minimal changes are in line with the prevailing high interest rates. The relatively high increase in the suburb indices of Academia, Eros Park and Hochland Park could be ascribed to a high demand for properties in these areas.

Final Project Report for 2016 START Grants for Global Change Research in Africa
Final Project Report for 2016 START Grants for Global Change Research in Africa Project Title Water Security in Windhoek: governance, water demand and supply, and livelihoods in the context of urbanization and climate change Abstract Governance In the study, UJAMS Waste Water Treatment Plant (UWWTP) served as a case study to investigate governance and policy analysis in relation to water security in the city of Windhoek. The study revealed that there are different actors that were involved in discussion and decision making to address the issue of water supply to industries, pollution from industrial effluent and the need to find diverse alternatives to the water insecurity problem that ultimately led to establishment and operation of the (UWWTP) Analysis of Water Management Plan for City of Windhoek 2017 and Transformational Strategic Plan (2017-2022) for City of Windhoek policies revealed that despite being developed recently after the Namibia Climate Change Policy, Strategy and Action Plan had been enacted, very little climate change related issues are mainstreamed and used in these policies despite Windhoek. Water demand and supply In central Namibia, where the Capital Windhoek is hosted, water is very scarce. To cope with the effect of drought, water is transferred from Kombat Karst Aquifer and Von Bach and Swakoppoort dam on the Swakop River. The effect of drought on the Swakop River is not well known. To understand the effect of drought, streamflow, and rainfall data from 1969 to 2016 were collected and analyzed using drought indices such as Standardized Precipitation Index (SPI) and Streamflow Drought Index (SDI). It was found that, drought periods were not continuous and a wet period was always followed. -

To achieve this aim, four objectives were set: (a) to assess the knowledge of cervical cancer and cervical cancer services among nurses (b) to determine the nurses' attitudes towards the provision of cervical cancer services (c) to assess the practices of nurses towards the provision of services on cervical cancer; and (d) to analyse the association between the key variables with regards to cervical cancer and the provision of its services. A quantitative, descriptive and analytical study, using a self-administered structured questionnaire was completed in 2019. Data on socio-demographic, knowledge, attitudes and practices regarding cervical cancer service provision was collected from nurses that are working at the randomly selected healthcare facilities such as Windhoek Central hospitals, Intermediate Katutura Hospital, Hakahana clinic, Wanaheda clinic, Okuryangava clinic and Katutura Health Centre. A total of eighty (80) participants was sampled with the means of stratified random sampling, proportionate to the size of the population at a certain health facility. -
