    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 Yet in many countries, including Na- mibia, statistics on migration are incomplete, out-of-date or do not exist.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.

  • 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.

Chapter 4: Omaheke Region 37 A note about the arrangement of the regional chapters The regional chapters (4-11) are arranged in a 'circular' pattern and according to the area of habitation of the different San language groups, thus this arrangement provides for some continuity in reporting on San groups whose cultures and traditional practices are the same or similar. Starting in Omaheke (Chapter 4), we move north-west and then east, ending in Caprivi (Chapter 11). Ohangwena precedes Omusati in this pattern because the San in Ohangwena are Hai||om and !Xun, as in Kunene, Oshana and Oshikoto. For ease of reference and navigation, these chapters are colour coded as indicated in the map below.

  • Proposal for Namibia (1)
    AFB/PPRC.21/20 26 September 2017 Adaptation Fund Board Project and Programme Review Committee Twenty-First Meeting Bonn, Germany, 10-11 October 2017 Agenda Item 6 p) PROPOSAL FOR NAMIBIA (1) AFB/PPRC.21/20 Background 1. The Operational Policies and Guidelines (OPG) for Parties to Access Resources from the Adaptation Fund (the Fund), adopted by the Adaptation Fund Board (the Board), state in paragraph 45 that regular adaptation project and programme proposals, i.e. those that request funding exceeding US$ 1 million, would undergo either a one-step, or a two-step approval process. In case of the one-step process, the proponent would directly submit a fully-developed project proposal. In the two-step process, the proponent would first submit a brief project concept, which would be reviewed by the Project and Programme Review Committee (PPRC) and would have to receive the endorsement of the Board. In the second step, the fully- developed project/programme document would be reviewed by the PPRC, and would ultimately require the Board’s approval. 2. The Templates approved by the Board (OPG, Annex 4) do not include a separate template for project and programme concepts but provide that these are to be submitted using the project and programme proposal template. The section on Adaptation Fund Project Review Criteria states: For regular projects using the two-step approval process, only the first four criteria will be applied when reviewing the 1st step for regular project concept. In addition, the information provided in the 1st step approval process with respect to the review criteria for the regular project concept could be less detailed than the information in the request for approval template submitted at the 2nd step approval process.
