The compendium addresses the implementation and achievements of the strategic objectives set for the period under review under the following strategic themes: • Democracy Building • Capacity Building • Legal Framework • Infrastructure Development • Operational Excellence Under the theme Democracy Building significant achievements by the ECN during the period under review include the completion of the General Voter Registration in 2013. This ambitious assignment was done through the use of biometric technology to develop the National Voters Register. Extensive voter education preceded this exercise with major emphasis on people living with disabilities and other marginalised communities. The introduction of the EVMs during by-elections during 2013/2014 and the 2014 general elections was the second most significant achievement under this strategic theme. This was a historic milestone in the election history of Africa and significantly enhanced the accuracy of results with the total elimination of spoilt ballots from the electoral process. THE ELECTORAL COMMISSION OF NAMIBIA 9 The theme Capacity Building saw the development of a Gender Policy for the ECN and the development of a new structure which addresses the changed legal framework to be refined in alignment with the next Strategic Plan. The theme Legal Framework witnessed the development of the Electoral Act 5 of 2015, by the ECN in collaboration with the Law Reform Commission. Furthermore, Constitutional amendments elevated the Electoral Commission to a constitutional body. Under the Infrastructure Development theme the ECN identified land in three regions and commenced with architectural designs for the construction of ECN offices. This is in compliance with the requirement of the Electoral Act that regional offices be established throughout the country. Under the theme Operational Excellence the ECN has commenced with the initial stages of the implementation of a Performance Management System. To this end, all permanent staff members signed Performance Management Agreements for the period ending 31 March 2017. The numerous achievements highlighted by the ECN during the period under review specifically address the five strategic themes. These significant achievements were made possible purely as a result of a committed staff complement, the continued interaction by the ECN with its stakeholders, and the constant oversight role of the Commission. The ECN has delivered upon its mandate during the period under review and remains committed to furthering the principles of electoral democracy in our nation. Adv. Notemba Tjipueja Chairperson: Electoral Commission of Namibia 10 THE ELECTORAL COMMISSION OF NAMIBIA PART A: General Information Strategic Overview Vision The strategic plans, programmes and activities of the ECN are guided by its vision: “To be the leading autonomous and most credible elections management institution in Africa”. To obtain the said vision and carry out its mandate the Mission Statement of the ECN is: “To deliver free, fair and credible elections, managed in a transparent, innovative and participatory manner in order to strengthen democracy in Namibia.” The Strategic Goals which articulate what the ECN aims to achieve through the carrying out of its mandate are outcome-oriented. To this end, the strategic goals of the Commission are to: • Build a democratic culture in the country; • Achieve operational excellence; • Invest in capacity building; • Play the lead role in the development and enactment of a sound electoral legal framework. The implementation of these strategic goals is geared to achieve certain objectives, namely, to: • Improve coordination and communication technology; • Ensure responsive electoral legal framework; • Deliver free, fair and credible elections; • Improve voter education activities; • Mainstream gender and disability and ensure compliance with the relevant policies at national level; • Ensure highly skilled and competent personnel. To achieve its vision, mission, strategic goals and objectives, the Commission has adopted a set of five (5) Core Values to guide and dictate the day-to-day behaviours and actions of its Commissioners and staff members. These core values and their meaning are as follows: THE ELECTORAL COMMISSION OF NAMIBIA 11 i) Accountability: To account to the Electorate, Parliament and the Namibian nation at large; ii) Non-Partisanship: To maintain political neutrality and refrain from deliberately advancing or prejudicing the interest of a given political party and stakeholders; iii) Professionalism: To demonstrate, through collective efforts, the highest level of competence, skills and acumen in the delivery of our mandate; iv) Confidentiality: Adhere to the secrecy of the vote, thereby to instil confidence in the process outcome; and v) Integrity: To uphold honesty and transparency in the electoral process. Constitutional and legislative mandate of the ECN he Namibian Constitution and the Electoral Act No.5 of 2014 provide the electoral framework for the powers and functions of the ECN. The constitutional mandate of the ECN emanates from article 94B of the Namibian Constitution.

The total area of the Focal Landscape is 219,513 ha. The landscape is fairly flat and parts of it are prone to flooding during the wet season. It is characterized by clay-loam and sandy-loam soils, and rural livelihoods are based mainly on livestock, dryland cropping, and tourism and wildlife in the conservancies. The relevant features of the landscape are: The Zambezi Focal Landscape is located in several constituencies in the Zambezi Region, namely • Katima Mulilo Rural Constituency. • Kabbe North Constituency. • Kabbe South Constituency. • Sibbinda Constituency. 1.2 Ethnic Groups The Focal Landscape is mainly inhabited by the Mafwe and the Masubia people. WATS Investment cc is the Consortium responsible for overseeing the implementation of the landscape activities in this Focal Landscape. 1.3 Population and demographics The population in the Zambezi Focal Landscape has been calculated from the 2011 cen- sus data, using the NSA’s disaggregated figure for the exact area of the focal landscape (7,213 people) (NSA 2021 pers. comm.) and applying to this the annual growth rate of 1.3% for the Region (NSA 2012). This calculates to 8,207 people. In 2011 the sex ratio was roughly equal, with a very small male bias (51.9% men to 48.1% women).

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.
