Foreword

This report covers the detailed results of 2001 Namibia Population and Housing Census for

Omusati Region. The first report for the Census was the Preliminary Report, which was

released in March 2002. The results, which were presented in that report, were provisional

in nature. They were based on manual tabulations, and provided population totals

categorized by females and males.

The current report provides regional detailed basic highlights from the Census. These

highlights were derived from detailed tabulations and analysis, which was undertaken after

the completion of data processing of the Census information collected in the questionnaires.

There is therefore a likelihood that some of the figures presented in this report may differ

slightly from those in the Preliminary Report due to some errors in the manual compilation.

There is a need to note the Census collected information at both personal and household

levels relating to basic characteristics of the population. Basic indicators in the form of

Percentages and rates are presented for both levels. The indicators are also given at

regional, urban and rural as well as at constituency levels.

The report does not provide information on why or how the population is characterized as

such.

The information relates to all persons who were in the Omusati Region during the Census

Reference Night of 27 to 28 August, 2001. All persons who usually resided in the region, but

were not present during the Census Reference Night, are therefore not included in the

analysis. On the other hand, all those persons who usually did not reside in Omusati, but

were present during the Census Reference Night, are included in this report. Information on

the population, which usually resides in the various regions is presented in the National

Report.

It is not possible to mention all the various national and international bodies and individuals

who have contributed in the undertaking of the Census exercise. However, we are grateful

to the technical, financial and material support provided by the United Nations Population

Fund (UNFPA), the Governments of Sweden, United Kingdom, Spain, France and the United

States of America.

Our sincere appreciation goes to the Grade 11 learners of 2001 and the Primary School

teachers who worked respectively as interviewers and supervisors during the main Census

enumeration. We would also like to acknowledge the support provided by the regional and

local leadership towards the whole Census exercise. The contribution of the rest of the

Census staff to the whole operation is appreciated. Last, but not least, we would like to

acknowledge the support and cooperation of the general public, especially during the

enumeration period.

4

It is our sincere hope that the Census results, and in particular this report, will be put to good

use by both policy makers and planners for objective policy formulation and implementation

of programmes for the development of our nation.

1 General Overview

1.1 Total Enumerated Population

The total population enumerated in Omusati was 228 842. Out of these, 126 368 were females while

102 473 were males. This gives a sex ratio of about 81 males per 100 females. It should be noted

that this population is not the same as those who usually reside in the region. These were the

persons who were physically present on the Census Reference Night of 27 - 28 August 2001. Some of

the enumerated persons were visitors and travellers who usually reside elsewhere. Likewise,

persons who usually reside in Omusati, but were not present on the Census reference night, were

enumerated elsewhere if they spent the Census Reference Night in Namibia.

The enumeration exercise covered all persons in private households and institutions, the homeless

and overnight travellers. Figure 1.1 below provides a breakdown of the population by these groups.

The population in private households constitute close to 99 percent of the total enumerated

population. Population in institutions is about one percent of the total population.

The size of the private households is relatively large, where half of the households are made up of 6

or more members. The population in these households constitutes about 72 percent of the

household population in the region. While one-person households make up 7 percent of all

households, they constitute only 1 percent of the household population.

1.2 Population Distribution

The enumerated population distribution by urban and rural areas as well as by constituencies is

shown in Figure 1.2.1. It should be noted that urban areas are proclaimed by the Government, and

in Omusati region, Outapi is the only urban locality in the region. About 99 percent of the total

population was enumerated in the rural parts of the region.

There are 12 constituencies in the region. About 15 percent of the population was enumerated in

Etayi constituency, making it the most populous constituency in the region. The proportion of the

population in the Oshikuku constituency was just about 4 percent of the enumerated population in

the region.

Chapter 2 Population Structure and Composition

2 Population Structure and Composition

Information on sex and age forms the basis for detailed analysis of the characteristics of any

population. The Census collected information on age, sex, marital status, citizenship and place of

birth for all persons who were enumerated. Information on sex and age in completed years provides

the basis for the analysis of the sex and age structure of the population.

2.1 Age Structure: Regional Level

Slightly over 2 out of 5 persons in Omusati are aged below 15 years

The age distribution of the population by broad age groups and by area is presented in Table 2.1.1

below. At the same time, Figure 2.1.1 presents the regional population pyramid by 5-year age

groups. It can be observed from the table that the population of Omusati is fairly young as 44 percent

of the whole population is under 15 years of age. This is more pronounced in the population

pyramid, which has a very broad base and a narrow apex. The proportion of the population aged 60

years and above, i.e. the senior citizens, is only 9 percent, a relatively low percentage.

2.2 Age structure: Urban and rural areas

The age distribution of the population by broad age groups for urban and rural areas is shown in

Table 2.1.1. Figures 2.2.1 and 2.2.2 present the population pyramids for the respective areas by five-

year age groups. There exist significant differences in the age structure between urban and rural

areas. The proportion of the young population, i.e. under 15 years of age, is 23 and 44 percent

respectively for urban and rural areas. In the case of the population aged 60 years and above, the

corresponding Percentages for the two areas are respectively 3 and 9. The rural areas have relatively

more young people as well as senior citizens. On the other hand, the urban areas have relatively

more people in the economically active age groups, i.e. 15–59 years. This phenomenon can be

observed in the pyramids for the two areas. The pyramid for the urban areas is rather bulky in the

middle and has a relatively narrow apex, implying a large proportion of the working population and a

small proportion of the senior citizens. Unlike the case for urban areas, the pyramid for the rural

areas has a relatively broader base and an apex, which is not as narrow as that of the urban pyramid.

This is a demonstration of the relatively higher proportions of both the young and the old

populations in the rural areas.

2.3 Age Structure: Constituency Level

The age distribution of the population by broad age groups for the six constituencies is shown in

Table 2.1.1. The age structures of all constituencies are basically the same. They all have a fairly

young population – between 40 and 47 percent – and an old population of between 7 and 11

percent.

2.4 Sex composition

For every 100 females in Omusati there are 81 Males

Table 2.4.1 shows the sex ratio as well as the sex composition (percents) of the population by area.

Females make up 55 percent of the whole population in the region. The sex ratio, which is the

number of males per 100 females, is 81. Figure 2.4.1 shows the sex ratio by age for the regional

population. The number of females and males are almost equal for the age groups below 20 years.

After age 20, the sex ratio declines up to age group 35–39 and then stabilizes, implying that, from age

20 onwards, there are relatively more females than males.

There are slightly more males than females in urban areas, where there are 101 males for every 100

females. Except for Ruacana constituency, the sex composition of the population in the other

constituencies follows the same pattern as the regional one. With regard to Ruacana, there are 103

males for every 100 females.

2.5 Marital status

Only 19% of all married persons in Omusati are married with certificate

The Census asked all persons their current marital status. Table 2.5.1 below presents the distribution

of the regional population aged 15 years and above by type of marital status. It can be observed that

56 percent of the females and 67 percent of the males had never been married at the time of the

Census. About 8 percent of the population aged at least 15 years were in traditional unions, i.e.

marriage without formal certification. It can be observed that there are relatively more females than

males who were divorced or widowed. For the females, 3 and 8 percent were respectively divorced

and widowed. The corresponding proportions for males were around 1 percent for both.

2.7 Place of birth

Information on place of birth is useful for the analysis of lifetime migration. To identify their place of

birth, all persons were asked to state their mothers’ place of usual residence at the time of their birth.

Table 2.7.1 presents the distribution of the population by place of birth. It can be seen that slightly

over 9 out of 10 of all persons who were enumerated in the region were born in the region. Slightly

over 4 percent were born in other northern regions. Close to 2 percent of those enumerated were born

outside the country.

3 Disability

The Census asked all persons about any type of permanent disability or limitation. Disability is

defined as a limitation in carrying out everyday activities at home, at work, or at school because of

long-term physical or mental condition.

Six various types of disability are identified: blind, deaf, impaired speech, impairment of hands,

impairment of legs and mentally disabled/mentally ill.

Tables 3.1 and 3.2 below show the disabled population by area and sex as well as by type of

disability. It can be seen from the first table that the proportion of the disabled population in

Omusati Region was slightly over 6 percent. There are no differences between females and males.

The proportion of disabled persons is lower in urban than rural areas. In the former it is close to 4

percent as against slightly over 6 percent in the latter. At constituency level, there are no notable

differences. The proportion of disabled persons ranges from close to 5 percent in Elim to slightly

over 8 percent in Otamanzi.

It can be observed in Table 3.2 that blindness is the most common type of disability in Omusati. It

affects about 38 percent of the disabled population. Impairment of legs accounts for 23 percent of all

disabilities, followed by impaired hands (21%).

4 Early Childhood Development

The questions on existence of Early Childhood Development (ECD) programmes asked in the Census

are explained in detail in Appendix 1. Briefly, all children aged 3 – 6 years were asked about

attendance of any type of ECD programme. These include Crèches/Kindergarten, Day Care Centre/

Nursery School and Pre-Primary School for preparation to enter formal primary education.

The Census counted about 27 400 children aged 3 – 6 years. Table 4.1 below reflects that 42 percent

of the female children and close to 39 percent of the male children were attending an Early

Childhood Development Programme.

Significant differences in urban and rural areas can be observed. Relatively higher proportions of

children were attending an early childhood development programme in urban than in rural areas.

Attendance of Early Childhood Development Programmes in constituencies varies slightly. It ranges

between 33 percent and 44 percent. Ruacana constituency has the smallest proportion (33%) of

children aged 3–6 years who attend an ECD Programme. It is worth noting that Elim has the highest

attendance of ECD, which is slightly over 44 percent.

It can be observed in Table 4.2 that out of the 11 074 children aged 3 – 6 years attending any type of

early childhood development programme, 84 percent are attending crèche or kindergarten, only 2

percent are attending a day care centre or a nursery school, while about 14 percent are attending

pre-primary school. Higher proportions of children are attending pre-primary school in rural than in

urban areas. There are no significant differences in proportions of female and male children who are

attending a particular early childhood development programme.

5 Education and Literacy

The concepts and definitions on education and literacy that were used in the Census are given in

Appendix 1. Briefly, the Census asked all persons, aged 6 years and above, about school attendance

and highest level of education attained. In addition, there was a question on their ability to write and

read in any language with understanding, so as to measure the level of literacy in the region.

School attendance means attendance at any regular educational institution, public or private, for

systematic instruction at any level of education. Examples of educational institutions are primary

schools, secondary or high schools, technical schools, agricultural institutes, teacher training colleges

and universities.

The questions on school attendance aimed at dividing the population into three categories. Those

who have never attended school, those who are presently attending school, college or university and

those who have attended school, college or university some time in the past, but are presently not

attending school, college or university.

The question on educational attainment was put to people who are presently attending or have

attended school, college or university. Educational attainment means the highest standard, grade or

years completed by a person at a formal educational institution.

The purpose of the question on literacy was to divide the population into two groups: Those who are

able to write and read a message in any language with understanding and those who do not have this

ability. People who can write but not read or who can read but not write are not literate. The

question on literacy was straightforward: “Can you write and read a message in any language?”

5.4 Literacy

Census data on literate and illiterate people must be used with special caution. The approach that

was used to collect the information – Can you write and read in any language with understanding? –

tends, by experience, to overestimate the number of literate people since no literacy test was

administered. There was a provision for two languages for each person.

The literacy question was put to all persons aged 6 years and above. It may be more relevant to use

15 years as the lowest age limit, which gives just over 106 700 literate people. This leads to a literacy

rate of 84 percent for all persons aged 15 years and above.

Table 5.4.1 depicts the distribution of the literate population, aged 15 years and above, by sex and

area. There are slight differences between urban and rural areas. The corresponding rates for these

areas are 90 and 84 percent respectively. Differences between females and males can also be

observed in both areas.

The table also shows variations between constituencies. The literacy rates range from 68 to 90

percent respectively in Ruacana and Elim constituencies. Males are slightly more literate than

females in most of them.

Chapter 6 Labour Force

6 Labour Force

The concepts and definitions on economic activity that were used in the Census are given in

Appendix 1.

The Census asked all persons aged 8 years and above about their activity during the seven days prior

to the Census reference night, 27 – 28 August 2001. A person was regarded as having worked, if he

or she had worked even for one hour for pay, profit or family gain during that period. Consequently,

people who worked for at least one hour but who had another activity, as main activity, for example

as student or homemaker, were economically active according to this definition.

The major purpose of the Census questions on economic activity is to divide the population into

those who are currently economically active, that is, belonging to the labour force and those who are

outside the labour force. Other questions allow the breakdown of the employed persons by major

groups of occupation, industry and status in employment.

Persons regarded as being economically inactive are grouped into seven categories. These are

students, homemakers, retired, old age, and income recipient and severely disabled. These persons

were not in any paid or self-employment during the past seven days prior to the Census reference

night.

This report focuses on the population aged 15 years and above in order to conform to international

practices.

Figure 6.1 shows that 38 percent of the population aged 15 years and above belongs to the

economically active group, which forms the labour force, while 59 percent was outside the labour

force. The labour force is made up of the employed (65%) and the unemployed (35%). In the

economically inactive population group, students make up 31 percent, while homemakers constitute

49 percent.

6.1 Labour force participation rate

Table 6.1.1 shows that the labour force participation rate for the region is almost 38 percent. The

rate is higher for males (41%) than for females (36%). There are significant differences between

urban and rural areas. The rate is higher in the former (63%) than in the latter (37%) areas. There

are no differences between females and males in the urban areas. However, slight differences can be

observed in the rural areas.

At constituency level, the rates for both sexes range from 18 percent in Onesi to 48 percent in

Okalongo. The table also shows significant differences between females and males within each of

the constituencies.

6.2 Labour force

About 38 percent of the population aged 15 years and above belongs to the labour force in the

region. Table 6.2.1 shows that 65 percent of the population in the labour force is employed, while 35

percent is unemployed. Relatively equal distributions of females and males can be observed among

the employed and the unemployed. The Census also distinguished between those unemployed but

previously worked and those who were first time job seekers.

6.3 Employed persons by status in employment

Table 6.3.1 reveals that 29 percent of all employed persons are unpaid family workers in the

subsistence/communal farming sector, where about 3 out of 5 are females. These are persons, who

work in the family farming business without pay. About 16 percent of all employed persons are

employees in the private sector, while another 18 percent are employed by the government. Around

13 percent of all employed persons are other unpaid family workers. Own account workers who

operate an own business without paid employees, constitute 5 percent of all employed persons.

6.4 Employed persons by occupation

The largest occupational group is service workers, shop and market sales workers who constitute 33

percent of all employed persons. This group is heavily female dominated. It can also be observed

that about 2 out of 5 of all employed females belong to this occupation group. The second largest

occupational group is elementary occupations, which include labourers and other unskilled

occupations who make up 17 percent of all employed persons, skilled agricultural and fishery

workers constitute almost 17 percent of the employed persons. Professionals together with associate

professionals make up about 11 percent of all employed persons.

6.7 Unemployment rate

The rate of unemployment in Omusati is 35%

The data on unemployment should be used with caution. No information was collected, either on

number of working hours or on underemployment. Collecting this information normally requires

detailed specific interviews with respondents in a labour force survey.

Young people, notably females,

have the highest unemployment

rate. Figure 6.7.1 indicates a

similar shape over the

unemployment rate by age for

both sexes. The rate is slightly

higher for females in younger

ages and higher for males in the

older ages.

Figure 6.7.2 shows that

unemployment rates are higher

for females than males in the

constituencies of Okahao, Onesi,

Ruacana, Tsandi and Otamanzi.

Females in Okahao constituency

have the highest unemployment

rate of 65 percent.

Unemployment rate is the proportion of the unemployed persons in the labour force for a given

sex/age population group, i.e. the number of unemployed persons divided by all people in the

labour force in the same sex/age population group.


40

Table 6.7.1 presents the distribution of the unemployed population aged 15 years and above by

educational attainment and sex. It can be seen that 10 percent of the unemployed persons had

never attended school. Males heavily outnumber the females. Another 31 percent of the

unemployed had incomplete primary education. However 42 and 12 percent respectively had

attained primary and secondary education. In both situations, females heavily outnumber the males.

The proportion of the unemployed with tertiary education was less than 2 percent.

Chapter 7 Household Composition and Characteristics

7 Household Composition and Characteristics

The Census defines a private household as a group of people related or unrelated, who live in the

same dwelling unit and share or have common catering arrangements. A person who lives alone and

caters for himself/herself forms a one-person household. Any usual member of a household who was

absent from such a household was not counted in that household but in the household where he or

she spent the Census reference night. The Census separates members of private households from

people in institutions, such as hospitals or hotels. This chapter presents data on average size of

households, relationship to the head of the household, means of communication available, main

language spoken at home and main source of income.

7.1 The average household size

Table 7.1.1 shows that on average a household in Omusati is composed of around 6 members. The

average household size in urban and rural areas is 4 and 6 respectively. At constituency level, the

household size ranges from about 5 in Ruacana to 7 in Anamulenge constituencies.

7.2 Household composition

In order to determine the composition of a household, the relationship of members of the household

to the head of the household is taken into consideration. Table 7.2.1 below indicates that the son or

daughter relationship to the head or spouse is predominant in the Omusati Region. Own children, i.e.

daughters and sons account for 31 percent of all household members. Grandchildren to the

head/spouse make up 24 percent, while other relatives account for 17 percent.

Tables 7.2.2 and 7.2.3 present the respective urban and rural household population by relationship

to the head/spouse. In both urban and rural areas, children of the head/spouse are still the

predominant group with 23 and 31 percent respectively. The proportion of other relatives to the

head/spouse is relatively higher in urban (21%) than in the rural areas (17%). The opposite is the

case for grandchildren with only 7 percent in urban as compared to 25 percent in the rural areas.

Table 7.2.4 shows the distribution of households by area and by the sex of the head of household. It

can be observed that, for the region as a whole, there are relatively more female-headed households

(62%) than male-headed ones(38%). The proportion of male-headed households is relatively higher

in urban (55%) than in rural (45%) areas. At constituency level, all the constituencies have relatively

more female-headed households where the proportions range between 59 and 66 percent, except

for the constituency of Ruacana where the male-headed households (52%) are slightly more than the

female-headed ones(48%).

7.3 Access to means of communication

The Census asked all households about accessibility to selected services/facilities. These included

television, radio, newspaper, telephone and computer. Distinction should be made between

ownership and accessibility. A household may have accessibility to such a facility/service without

necessarily claiming its ownership. Table 7.3.1 below presents a picture of the diversity of access to

these communication facilities. Figure 7.3.1 presents the regional situation with regard to access to

these facilities. It can be observed that the radio is accessible to 75 percent of all households in the

region. The computer is the least accessible, with only 1 percent of the households having an access

to it.

There are significant differences between urban and rural areas in terms of accessibility to these

facilities/services. The urban households are relatively better off than the rural ones in terms of

accessibility to the facilities under consideration. For example, the television is accessible to 59

percent of the households in urban areas as compared to only 11 percent in the rural areas. The

telephone is accessible to 69 percent as against 16 percent in urban and rural areas respectively.

At constituency level, Otamanzi, Outapi and Ruacana are the ones with least accessibility to some of

the facilities/services under consideration.

7.4 Main language spoken in the household

The Census included a question on language usually spoken or mostly spoken at home. In the

Omusati Region several languages were identified. Table 7.4.1 presents the distribution of

households by main language spoken. Oshiwambo languages are the most spoken languages in

households in the Region, with 95 percent of the households communicating in these languages.

7.5 Main source of household income

The Census asked all households their main source of income. It should be noted that households

may rely on various sources of income. However, they were asked to state only the main source.

Table 7.5.1 below presents the distribution of households by their main source of income. It can be

seen that farming is the leading main source of income in the region with about 45 percent of the

households having reported so. Wages and salaries as a main source of income was reported by 16

percent of the households. Significant differences exist between urban and rural areas. Whereas

about 40 percent of the households in urban areas reported wages and salaries as their main source

of income, the corresponding percentage for the rural areas was about 16 percent. Farming was the

main source of income for the rural households (46%).

At constituency level, it is interesting to note that in all of them, households reported farming as the

most common main source of income. Most of the constituencies except Ruacana had significant

proportions of households reporting pension as their main source of income.

8 Housing Conditions

The Census asked all households questions on housing characteristics. These included type of

housing units, tenure, materials used for constructions, and source of energy for cooking, lighting

and heating.

8.1 Type of housing unit

Nine types of housing units were identified. These are detached house, semi-detached/townhouse,

apartment/flat, guest flat, part commercial/industrial, mobile home (caravan or tent), single

quarters, traditional dwelling, and improvised house (shack). The types of housing units are defined

in Appendix 1.

Table 8.1.1 shows that traditional dwellings are predominant as they are occupied by more than 4

out of 5 households in the region. About 14 percent of the households live in detached or semi-

detached houses.

In urban areas, detached and semi-detached dwellings make up 64 percent as against 13 percent in

the rural areas. On the other hand, traditional dwellings are the most common in rural areas where

82 percent of the households reside in them. Only 3 percent of households reside in traditional

dwellings in urban areas.

In all the constituencies, traditional dwellings dominate with the highest proportion in Elim (91%)

and the lowest in Ogongo (71%). It is worth noting that about one out of four households in the

constituencies of Ogongo and Oshikuku reside in detached and semi detached dwelling units.

8.2 Type of tenure

Information on tenure is presented in Table 8.2.1. Most of the housing units (85%) in the region are

occupied by owners, without any mortgage. This phenomenon is more common in rural (85%) than


49

in urban (47%) areas. Housing units occupied by owners with mortgage are found mainly in urban

areas (12%). Likewise, households residing in dwellings which are provided by employers are found

mainly in the urban areas 18 (%).

At Constituency level, owner-occupied dwellings without mortgage are predominant in all the of

them, where the proportion of households occupying them ranges from 65 to 93 percent in the

constituencies of Ruacana and Otamanzi respectively. One out of ten households in Ruacana reside

in dwelling units provided by the employers.

8.3 Average number of persons per room

Households were asked to give information on the number of rooms in their housing units. Rooms

include all the rooms used for sleeping and exclude places such as kitchens, bathrooms, toilets,

stoeps and verandas. The average number of persons per room is shown in Table 8.3.1 below.

8.4 Materials used for construction

Information on the main material used for construction of roofs, walls and floors are given in Tables

8.4.1 - 8.4.3. It can be seen from Table 8.4.1 that the most commonly used material for roofing in the

region is thatch/grass. About seven out of ten households reside in dwellings with thatched roofs.

This proportion is much higher in rural areas (73%) than in urban (2%) ones. Households that live in

dwellings, whose roofing material is corrugated iron sheets, constitute 23 percent of all households

in the region. This proportion is relatively higher in urban (96%) than in rural (22%) areas.

At constituency level, dwellings with roofs made from thatched grass pre-dominate in all

constituencies except Oshikuku. The proportion of households residing in dwellings with such roofs

ranges from 58 percent in Elim to 81 percent in Etayi. Roofs made from corrugated iron sheets are

the most common in Oshikuku with half of households in the region residing in swellings with such

roofs. A significant proportion of households in Ruacana (36%) and Anamulenge (33%) reside in

dwellings with similar roofs.

With respect to the materials used for the floor, sand is the most common material. Table 8.4.2

shows that slightly less than half of the households in the region occupy dwellings with this type of

floor. The proportion in rural areas is even higher with four out of five households residing in

dwellings with such a floor. About one third of the households in the region occupy dwellings with

mud/clay floors. The same proportion of households can be observed for the rural areas. On the

other hand, more than three quarters of the households in the urban areas occupy dwellings with

cement floors.

With regards to constituencies, dwellings with sand, mud/clay and cement are the most common

materials used for the floor. The proportion of households residing in dwellings with sand floors

ranges from 25 percent in Etayi to 80 percent in Otamanzi. For cement it ranges from 8 percent in

Otamanzi to 47 in Oshikuku, while those dwellings covered with mud/clay range from 11 to 61

percent respectively in Otamanzi and Okalongo constituencies.

With regard to materials used for the construction of walls, wooden poles, stick and grass as well as

mud/clay bricks predominate in the region. About 43 percent of the households live in dwellings

with walls made out of wooden poles, stick and grass, while 29 percent reside in dwellings with walls

made out of mud/clay bricks. The same situation can be observed for rural areas. In urban areas,

however, cement blocks/bricks and corrugated iron sheets predominate with 7 out of 10 households

residing in dwellings with such walls. In the same areas about 25 percent of the households are in

dwellings whose walls are made from corrugated iron sheets.

At constituency level, dwellings with walls made from wooden poles, stick and grass are fairly

common in all of them. The proportion of households residing in such dwellings ranges from 21 to

82 percent respectively in Etayi and Otamanzi respectively. The proportion of households residing in

dwellings whose walls are of mud or clay bricks are mostly in Anamulenge (37%), Etayi (59%) and

Okalongo (51%). It is only in Oshikuku where 45 percent of the households reside in dwellings with

walls made from cement blocks or bricks.

8.5 Source of energy used for cooking, lighting and heating

Tables 8.5.1 to 8.5.3 present the percent distribution of households by sources of energy for cooking,

lighting and heating. As indicated in Table 8.5.1, most households (93%) in the region rely on wood

and charcoal from wood for cooking. Only 2 Percent utilize electricity for cooking. There are

significant difference between urban and rural areas. More than nine out of ten households in the

rural, as against one out of three households in urban areas, make use of wood or charcoal from

wood. Electricity is mostly used for cooking in urban areas with 36 percent against only 2 percent in

the rural areas.

At constituency level, wood or charcoal from wood is used extensively in all the constituencies where

more than eight out of ten households utilise this source for cooking.

It can be observed in Table 8.5.2 that about 1 out of 3 households in the region use candle, paraffin

and wood for lighting. This situation is the same for rural areas. Close to 3 out of 5 households in

the urban areas use electricity and about one out of three use candles. With regards to

constituencies, there exist significant differences. The most common energy used for lighting in all

constituencies are paraffin, wood and candle.

Table 8.5.3 shows that, at regional level, about 70 percent of the households use wood or charcoal

from wood to heat their homes, while 23 percent do not heat their homes at all. Electricity for

heating is used mainly in urban areas where 24 percent of the households utilise this energy source.

About 3 out of 5 households in the urban areas do not heat their homes. The regional pattern can be

observed in the rural areas where 7 out of 10 households use wood or charcoal from wood for

heating purposes, while 23 percent do not heat their homes


54

At constituency level, it can be observed that the rural pattern prevails in all of them with relatively

high proportions of households using wood/charcoal from wood for heating purposes, and a notable

proportion not heating their homes.

Chapter 9 Water Supply and Sanitation

9 Water Supply and Sanitation

This chapter covers household sources of drinking and cooking water as well as the distance to the

source; type of toilet facilities; and how garbage/refuse is disposed of. Inadequate sanitation and

lack of safe water for drinking and cooking create conducive environment for the spread of infectious

and parasitic diseases, and are therefore a public health concern. Each household was asked to state

the main source of water for drinking and cooking and also the one way walking distance to the

water source. Likewise, information on the main type of toilet facility used by the household was

collected, as well as the main means used by the household to dispose garbage/refuse.

9.1 Type of water supply

83% of all households in Omusati have access to safe water

The percent distribution of households by source of water for drinking and cooking is shown in Table

9.1.1 for the region, urban and rural areas and constituencies while Figure 9.1.1 present the percent

distribution of households with access to safe water by area. About 49 percent of the households in

the region depend on public pipes and boreholes for their water. Another 33 percent of the

households have piped water within their compounds. For public health purposes, water from pipes

and boreholes, except those with open tanks, is regarded as safe for drinking and cooking.

For the region as a whole, about 83 percent of the households have access to safe water. However,

about 9 percent of the households get their water from rivers, streams or dams. Urban areas are

relatively better off than the rural ones. About 89 percent of the households in the urban areas, as

against 82 percent in the rural ones, have access to safe water.

At constituency level, the proportion of households to safe water ranges from 73 to 93 percent

respectively in Onesi and Elim constituencies. The proportion of households which rely on water

from rivers, streams, canals and dams for drinking and cooking is fairly significant in the

constituencies of Anamulenge (13%), Ogongo (11%), Onesi (16%), Outapi (15%) and Tsandi (10%).

Table 9.1.2 presents the percent distribution of households by distance to the water source and by

area. For the region, as a whole, about 46 percent of the households have access to their water

within a distance of 100 metres, while about 20 percent of them have to cover more than one

kilometre to fetch water. There are distinct differences between urban and rural areas. Higher

proportions of households in the latter than in the former areas have to cover longer distances to

fetch water. In the case of the urban areas, over 90 percent of the households have access to water

within 100 metres of their dwellings, as against 46 percent in the rural areas. The proportion of

households which have to cover more than one kilometre to fetch water is 21 percent in the rural

areas, as compared to 13 percent in the urban ones.

The rural pattern is observable at constituency level. It should be noted that there are relatively high

proportions of households in some of the constituencies with relatively long distances to the water

source

9.2 Type of toilet facility

Slightly over 4 out of 5 households in Omusati have no toilet facility

Table 9.2.1 presents the percent distribution of households by type of toilet facility. Over 80 percent

of the households in Omusati region have no toilet facility. Instead, they utilise the bush. Only 3

percent of the households in the region use a flush toilet. There are notable differences between

urban and rural areas. About 31 percent of the households in the urban areas use flush toilet while

the corresponding rural percentage is 3. About 84 percent of the rural households use the bush as

against 20 percent in the urban areas.

At constituency level, the rural pattern prevails. Very high proportions, ranging from 68 to 90

percent, of households in all the constituencies have no toilet facility.

9.3 Garbage and refuse disposal

Table 9.3.1 shows the percent distribution of households by means of disposing garbage/refuse. The

most common means of disposing garbage in Omusati region is the use of the rubbish pit, which is

utilised by 24 percent of all the households. This is followed by incineration (21%) and roadside

dumping (19%). In the urban areas, about 41 percent of the households have their garbage regularly

collected. The corresponding percentage for the rural areas is close to 8. The regional pattern can

be observed for the rural areas.

The pattern in the constituencies follows that in the rural areas where the popular means of garbage

disposal are the rubbish pit, roadside dumping and incineration.

10 Fertility

Generally, indicators of the levels of fertility are based on data from either civil registration or

reported births and deaths in a specified period and the population relating to the same period. In

Namibia, the coverage of the civil registration system is not complete and, as such, information on

the number of births is deficient. Likewise, reported information on births and deaths from surveys

and Censuses is usually under-reported and hence, does not provide a good basis for estimating the

levels of fertility and mortality.

An indirect method of estimating the levels of fertility has been developed. Estimates of fertility

based on the reported births in the last twelve months provide the true pattern, but under-estimate

the level of fertility. On the other hand, estimates based on the average number of children ever

born to women provide lifetime estimates of fertility levels, but without a time reference. The

indirect technique adjusts the levels of fertility estimated from reported births in the last twelve

months by using the estimates from the average number of children ever born to women.

In the 2001 Census all women in child-bearing ages were asked questions on the number of live

births as well as the month and year of the last live birth. The total number of live births provides an

estimate of lifetime fertility while the information on the last live birth provides current estimates of

the level of fertility. The latter are usually underestimated, and the lifetime fertility estimates are

used to adjust them to arrive at the expected current levels of fertility.

There are various measures of fertility. The indicator used here is the total fertility rate (TFR). This is

the average number of children a woman would be expected to have if she survives through her

reproductive period, i.e. from about age 15 to 49 years. In addition to the total fertility rates, the

pattern of fertility is also provided. This indicates the contribution to the total fertility rate by the

various age groups of the women.

10.1 Levels of Fertility

On the average, women in Omusati have 4 children

The total fertility rates for Omusati by urban and rural areas and by constituency are shown in Table

10.1.1. On the average, at the time of the Census, women were expected to give birth to four

children. Women in urban areas were expected to have between three and four children, while

those in rural areas gave birth to four children. The total fertility rates for constituencies ranged

from between two and three in Elim to six in Ruacana and Tsandi.

10.2 Fertility Pattern

Teen-age females contribute 3% to the total fertility in Omusati

The pattern of fertility for women in child-bearing ages in Omusati Region is shown in Table 10.2.1.

Motherhood starts at a fairly early age in the region, and child bearing is still significant in the late

ages. Teen-age females contribute 3% to the total fertility, while women aged 40 years and above

contribute another 15%. Child-bearing for women is concentrated in the 20 – 40 year age group

which contributes about 81% to the total fertility.

Chapter 11 Mortality and Orphanhood

11 Mortality and Orphanhood

Indicators of the level of mortality are usually based on data from either civil registration or reported

deaths in a specified period and the population relating to the same period. In Namibia, the

coverage of the civil registration system is not complete and, as such, information on the number of

is deficient. Likewise, reported information on deaths from surveys and Censuses may be under-

reported and hence lead to an underestimation of the level of mortality. Various techniques have

been developed to provide reasonable estimates of the levels of mortality. Most of these methods

are based on the assumption that the deaths are under-reported and therefore need to be adjusted.

In the 2001 Census, information on deaths was collected at two levels. Women in child-bearing ages

were asked about their total number of live births and those still surviving as well as the survival

status of their last live birth. If these are reported correctly, then they would provide reasonable

measures of infant and child mortality. At the same time, all households were requested to report

on all deaths that occurred in the household since 1998. If there was a death in 2001, then the sex

and age of the deceased was also recorded. This information will provide the sex and age pattern of

mortality. In addition, if the deceased was a female in child-bearing ages, maternal related cause of

death was also reported.

Orphanhood information was collected for all members of the household. Each person was

requested to state the survival status of his/her biological parents, i.e. both mother and father.

11.1 Mortality

Table 11.1.1 shows the trend in the number of deaths reported by households from 1998 to 2001 in

Omusati region. It can be observed that the number of deaths has been increasing since 1999.

Table 11.1.1 Number of reported deaths, 1998 –

2001, Omusati Region, 2001 Census

Year Females Males Not stated Total

1998 1 129 1 542 0 2 671

1999 1 143 1 524 0 2 667

2000 1 489 1 929 0 3 418

2001* 2 411 2 718 69 5 198

Note* The deaths reported for 2001 were only for the first 8 months.

Adjustments were made to cover all the 12 months.

Figure 11.1.1 shows the percent increase in the number of deaths between 1999 and 2001 for the

region, urban and rural areas as well as the constituencies. The percent increase ranges from 19 to

142 in Elim and Otamanzi constituencies respectively. The magnitude of mortality in the region can

also be observed by looking at households, which had at least one death within 3 years before the

Census. This is shown in figure 11.1.2. For the region as a whole, one out of five households have

experienced at least one death within the three years before the Census. There are no significant

differences at constituency level. Around one out of five households in all constituencies

experienced death within three years before the census.

Figure 11.1.2 Percent of households with a death within 3 years before the Census


There are many indicators, which are used for describing the levels of mortality. Four of these

indicators are presented here. The first one is infant mortality rate, which is the number of infant

deaths per one thousand live births. That is, the number of babies who die before their first birthday

per 1 000 live births. The second one is child mortality rate. This is the number of deaths for children

aged one to four years per 1 000 children in the same age group. The third measure is the under-five

mortality rate, which is the number of children who die before they celebrate their fifth birthday per

1 000 live births. The last indicator is the expectation of life at birth, which is the number of years a

new-born would be expected to live if it were exposed to the current pattern of mortality.

Expectation of life at birth provides an overall indicator of the level of mortality for the whole

population under consideration.

The estimates of infant, child and under-five mortality rates are based on information from children

ever born and those surviving, while the estimates of expectation of life at birth are based on the

reported child deaths aged 1 – 4 years for the year 2001.

The various indicators are presented in Table 11.1.2. The infant mortality rate for Omusati Region is

34 and 47 infant deaths per 1 000 live births respectively for females and males.

Infant mortality is higher for urban than for rural areas. With regard to constituencies, Otamanzi and

Elim have relatively higher rates than the rest.

Child mortality follows the same pattern as that of infant mortality. However, the rates of under-five

mortality are rather alarming. Overall, males are worse off than females. In Otamanzi constituency,

for example, one out of ten male children dies before the age of five years.

The life expectancy at birth in the region is 51 and 47 years for females and males respectively. Rural

areas are worse off than the urban areas. Females in Oshikuku had the highest life expectancy at

birth of 67 years. Onesi males experienced the lowest life expectancy at birth, as they were expected

to live 42 years.

11.2 Orphanhood

Information on orphanhood, particularly for children, provides an indirect indicator for adult

mortality. It also reflects on the degree of dependency at household level. Table 11.2.1 below

presents the number of households with at least one orphaned member aged below 15 years.

Around 31 percent of the households in Omusati Region have a child under 15 years of age without

one parent. The proportion of orphaned children under the same age who have lost both parents is

4 percent. This implies that in 4 out of every 25 households there is a child without parents, relying

on extended family relatives for survival. It can be observed that there are no significant differences

between urban and rural areas, nor between constituencies.

The number of orphaned children aged below 15 years is presented in Table 11.2.2. For the region as

a whole, about 15 percent of all children under this age have lost one parent. This is almost close to

one out of seven children under 15 years of age living with only one parent. The proportion of

orphans under the same age without both parents is around 1 percent. There are hardly any

differences between urban and rural areas, but slight differences can be observed among

constituencies.

The number of rooms included all rooms used for sleeping by a household. If a garage

was used as a sleeping room it was also counted. Kitchens, bathrooms, toilets, stoeps

and verandas were excluded.

In addition some household members used traditional or other outhouses as

sleeping quarters. In this case the number of sleeping rooms were included in the

number of rooms in the main building plus rooms for sleeping in other units.

household is occupying the ground floor of a 2-storeyed house and concrete slabs

are used for separating the ground floor from the 1st floor and the top of the building

i.e. the upper floor is covered with corrugated iron sheets then the material for the

roof for all the housing units in the building will be corrugated iron sheets.

water for

drinking and

cooking and

Distance to the

water source

A measure of the well-being of Namibians is the proportion of households that have

access to clean (potable) water. Distance to the water source also helps to derive

times taken to collect household’s water needs. This information helps derive areas

with serious water problems.


(lviii) Piped water inside the house: Water drawn from pipes installed in the house

and originating from a central source- river, pond, lake or borehole.

(lix) Piped water outside: Water drawn from pipes installed in a homestead, but not

inside the house, and originating from a central source- river, pond, lake or

borehole.

(lx) Public pipe: Water drawn from pipes installed in a locality to serve the whole

locality and originating from a central source- river, pond, lake or borehole.

(lxi) Borehole: Same as wells, but deeper and has a pump for drawing water.

(lxii) Borehole with open tank: This is a borehole where the water drawn is pumped

into an open tank right next to it.

(lxiii) Borehole with tank covered: This is a borehole where the water drawn is

pumped into a tank which is covered right next to it.

(lxiv) River/stream/cam: A river or naturally flowing source of water or reservoir

formed by man by building a barrier across a river to hold back water.

(lxv) Canal: Man-made open flowing water source.

(lxvi) Well, protected: A man-made hole/shaft dug in the ground from which water

is obtained. Water is drawn using buckets. A protected well has a fence and/or

a cover.

(lxvii) Well, unprotected: A man-made hole/shaft dug in the ground from which

water is obtained. Water is drawn using buckets. An unprotected well does not

have a fence around it.

household, since these aspects are very important for the elimination of

poverty and hunger and the improvement of the living standard of the

people.

The main source of income did not only refer to money, but could also be the

main products produced for consumption (e.g. some farmers cultivate and

depend on Mahangu. In this case farming is the main source of income).

Fertility and Mortality

Live birth A child born alive is one who cries after being born. Thus, a live birth is a birth,

which results in a child that shows any sign of life irrespective of the time or period

within which these signs are manifested. Miscarriages or abortions and stillbirths

are not live births.

Lifetime fertility Questions on this topic were limited to female respondents aged 12 to 49 years

irrespective of their marital status. The four types of data collected on this topic

were as follows:

(cxvi) Children ever born: the total number of children born alive by

respondent during her lifetime.

(cxvii) Number of children born alive and living: the number of children, male

and female, born alive to respondent living in respondent’s household on

Census night.

(cxviii) Number of children born alive and living elsewhere: the number of

children born alive to respondent but who were living elsewhere on Census

night.

(cxix) Number of children born alive but now dead: the number of children,

male and female, born alive to respondent and who had since died.

Current fertility The number of children born alive to respondent (females aged 12-49 years) during

the 12-month period preceding the Census night.

Infant mortality A question also restricted to female respondents aged 12-49 years, infant mortality

referred to the number of respondent’s children who had died out of those born

alive to during the 12-month period preceding the Census night.
