The Bank team comprised Claudia Sobrevila (Task Team Leader and Senior Biodiversity Page 1 of 7 Public Disclosure Authorized The World Bank Report No: ISR7062 Specialist), Philip Schuler (Senior Economist), David Sislen (Sector Leader), Antonio Chamuço (Procurement Specialist), and Tandile Ngetu (Financial Management Specialist). The purpose of the mission was to review implementation of the first NACOMA project and to initiate the preparation of the NACOMA follow-up operation. As part of the mission, the team conducted field visits to assess the implementation of some matching grants in Walvis Bay and in Sandwich Harbor, reviewed implementation progress and carried out procurement and financial management assessments of the project. The mission also participated, on April 3, 2012, in a meeting of the NACOMA Steering Committee and of the ICZM Committee on April 4, 2012. At the meetings, the Regional Councils and MET confirmed their intention to finance the administrative and management costs of NACOMA for the next nine months. NACOMA has achieved impressive outcomes. One of them is the very transparent and participatory process with many key stakeholders (private sector, other line ministries, communities and local governments) to develop the National Policy on Coastal Management for Namibia (NPCM) that began in early 2006 and resulted in the publication of a Coastal Policy Green Paper in July 2009 and a White Paper in December 2010. The NPCM is currently waiting tabling by Cabinet but is anticipated for adoption before July 2012. The NPCM process resulted in a consensus by many sectors on many issues facing the coast. For example, one issue identified was the need to protect the natural resources and establish new protected areas. In 2009, the Namibian Islands Protected Area and in 2010 the Dorob National Park were established. With these two protected areas, the government has been able to set aside a “mega park” - the Namib Skeleton Coast National Park (NSCNP) - covering 10.754 million ha which is the 6th largest terrestrial park in the world and the largest in Africa. Public Disclosure Copy The mission was informed that MET has agreed to provide N$ 4.2 million to support the management and administrative costs of the NACOMA Project Coordination Office from May 1, 2012 until May 1, 2013. In addition, the four Regional Councils that are part of the ICZM Committee have also agree to pay the office rental of NACOMA until May 1, 2013 and provide operational support of up to N$ 1.2 million (300,000 for each Regional Council) for the same period.

INTRODUCTION After more than a century of colonial domination, the Mandated Territory of South West Africa/Namibia' is close to receiving-its indepen- dence. South Africa continues to administer the Territory as it has since its military forces conquered and occupied it in 1915 during World War I. In the negotiations between South Africa and the United Nations over Namibian independence, differences have arisen between the parties over whether the Territory includes either (1) the port and settlement of Walvis Bay, an enclave of 1124 square kilometers in the center of Namibia's Atlantic coast, or (2) the Penguin Islands, twelve small guano islands strung along 400 kilometers of the Namibian coast between Walvis Bay and the Orange River, the Orange River being part of the boundary between South Africa and Namibia.

    Namibia 2011 Census MIGRATION REPORT Namibia Statistics Agency 2015 January 2015 MISSION STATEMENT “In a coordinated manner produce and disseminate relevant, quality and timely statistics that are fit-for- purpose in accordance with international standards and best practice” VISION STATEMENT “Be a high performance institution in statistics delivery” CORE VALUES Performance Integrity Service focus Transparency Accuracy Partnership Namibia 2011 Census Migration Report Foreword FOREWORD Migration report is one series of reports that were produced by the Namibia Statistics Agency based on data from the 2011 Namibia Population and Housing census. Migration is a powerful driver of population change and can have important consequence of economic, political and social changes. Because of its great impact on societies, migration needs to be adequately measured and understood. Reliable statistical data is the key to the basic understanding of this important demographic phenomenon. Yet in many countries, including Na- mibia, statistics on migration are incomplete, out-of-date or do not exist. Improvement in this area requires knowledge of the principles of collecting, compiling and analysing migration statistics. Migration is one of the three factors that affect population size of a particular geographic area, the other factors are fertility and- mor tality. Analytical reports on the situations of fertility and mortality are presented in separate reports which were released in 2014. The migration report provides information on internal and international migration covering both lifetime and short term migrants based on 2011 census data. Thus, report presents evidences on the migration patterns in Namibia to assist policy makers, planners and researchers in the formulation of national development programmes, as well as monitoring and evaluating implementation of national pro- grams.

    Partitioning of Nesting Space Among Seabirds of the Benguela Upwelling Region

    PARTITIONING OF NESTING SPACE AMONG SEABIRDS OF THE BENGUELA UPWELLING REGION DAviD C. DuFFY & GRAEME D. LA CocK Percy FitzPatrick Institute of African Ornithology, University of Cape Town, Rondebosch, South Africa, 7700. Received February /985 SUMMARY DuFFY, D. C. & LA CocK, G. D. 1985. Partitioning of nesting space among seabirds of the Benguela upwel­ ling region. Ostrich 56: 186-201. An examination of nesting habitats used by the four main species of seabirds nesting on southern African islands (Jackass Penguin Spheniscus demersus, Cape Cormorant Phalacrocorax capensis, Bank Cormorant P. neglectus and Cape Gannet Morus capensis) revealed relatively minor differences and extensive over­ laps between species, primarily in subcolony size, steepness of nesting substratum, and proximity to cliffs. A weak dominance hierarchy existed; gannets could displace penguins, and penguins could displace cor­ morants. This hierarchy appeared to have little effect on partitioning of nesting space. Species successfully defended occupied sites in most cases of interspecific conflict, suggesting that site tenure by one species could prevent nesting by another. The creation of additional nesting space on Namibian nesting platforms did not increase guano harvests, suggesting that nesting space had not previously limited the total nesting population of Cape Cormorants, the most abundant of the breeding species, in Namibia. While local shortages of nesting space may occur, populations of the four principal species of nesting seabirds in the Benguela upwelling region do not seem to have been limited by the availability of nesting space on islands. INTRODUCTION pean settlement, space for nesting was limited. Af­ ter settlement, human disturbance such as hunting The breeding seabirds of the Benguela upwel­ and guano extraction reduced nesting space, re­ ling region off Namibia and South Africa are be­ sulting in smaller populations of nesting seabirds.
