I am particularly pleased to have been availed this opportunity to welcome all the distinguished guest to the great Erongo Region and in particular to the beautiful historic beach Town of Swakopmund. Having said that, allow me on behalf of Erongo Regional Council, the people of the great Erongo Region and of course on my own behalf to officially pronounce a warm welcome to all of you honourable members, most particularly the Right Honourable Prime Minister, Comrade Hage Geingob and all the dignity members from all the corners of the Republic of Namibia. Your presence here is held in a very high esteem. 1 The same heartfelt welcome is extended to all the distinguished guests.

    Media Monitoring on Urban Development in Namibia Media Monitoring on Urban Development in Namibia is a service provided by Development Workshop Namibia (DWN), a registered 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.

  • Supplementary Registration of Voters of Registration Supplementary
    Electoral Commission of Namibia For free, fair and credible elections SUPPLEMENTARY REGISTRATION OF VOTERS 08 – 20 SEPTEMBER 2014 Toll free no: 081 9362 2 Message of ECN Director Register and Let Your Voice be Heard am greatly honored to inform the Namibian Electorate that the Electoral Commission of I Namibia will be conducting Supplementary Registration of Voters in all constituencies of the country from 8 – 20 September 2014. The Registration of Voters will take place at various registration points nationwide and starts from 08H00 in the morning to 19H00 in the evening, Monday to Saturday. No registration shall be done on any Sunday. The Supplementary registration of voters will be conducted for the Presidential and National Assembly Elections. This is to ensure that all eligible persons are registered and are in possession of voters’ cards in order to partake in the upcoming Presidential and National Assembly elections. An efficient voter registration system requires the population to be active in reporting changes of residency and other relevant aspects of their civil status. The Supplementary registration will thus give an opportunity to all citizens that were not able to register during the General Registration of Voters , as well as eligible voters that just turned 18 years to register to vote. The Supplementary registration will also record changes in residency and correct any errors on the electorates’ current registration cards. The Supplementary Registration of Voters is intended to ensure that all eligible citizens can exercise their right to vote during upcoming elections. Registration of voters outside Namibia Amendments made to the Electoral Act in 2009 permits the Electoral Commission of Professor Paul John Isaak Namibia to establish temporary registration points outside Namibia.
