The first and second ones were conducted in 1991 and 2001 respectively. Before independence, censuses were taken at somewhat regular intervals in 1926, 1936, 1946, 1951, 1960, 1970 and 1981. Namibia is one of the countries in sub-Saharan Africa that has participated in the 2010 Round of Censuses and followed the international best practice of conducting decennial Censuses, each of which attempts to count and enumerate every person and household in a country every ten years.Version 1.0: Edited, anonymous dataset for public distribution (PUMS, 20% sample)HouseholdMortalityFertilityEducationLabour forceDisabilityEducationAgriculture & Rural DevelopmentEnergy & MiningFinancial SectorHealthInfrastructureLabor & Social ProtectionSocial DevelopmentThe 2011 Population and Housing Census is the third national Census to be conducted in Namibia after independence. The first was conducted 1991 followed by the 2001 Census. Namibia is therefore one of the countries in sub-Saharan Africa that has participated in the 2010 Round of Censuses and followed the international best practice of conducting decennial Censuses, each of which attempts to count and enumerate every person and household in a country every ten years. Surveys, by contrast, collect data from samples of people and/or households.
Censuses provide reliable and critical data on the socio-economic and demographic status of any country. In Namibia, Census data has provided crucial information for development planning and programme implementation. Specifically, the information has assisted in setting benchmarks, formulating policy and the evaluation and monitoring of national development programmes including NDP4, Vision 2030 and several sector programmes. The information has also been used to update the national sampling frame which is used to select samples for household-based surveys, including labour force surveys, demographic and health surveys, household income and expenditure surveys. In addition, Census information will be used to guide the demarcation of Namibia's administrative boundaries where necessary.
At the international level, Census information has been used extensively in monitoring progress towards Namibia's achievement of international targets, particularly the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs).
The latest and most comprehensive Census was conducted in August 2011. Preparations for the Census started in the 2007/2008 financial year under the auspices of the then Central Bureau of Statistics (CBS) which was later transformed into the Namibia Statistics Agency (NSA). The NSA was established under the Statistics Act No. 9 of 2011, with the legal mandate and authority to conduct population Censuses every 10 years. The Census was implemented in three broad phases; pre-enumeration, enumeration and post enumeration.
During the first pre-enumeration phase, activities accomplished including the preparation of a project document, establishing Census management and technical committees, and establishing the Census cartography unit which demarcated the Enumeration Areas (EAs). Other activities included the development of Census instruments and tools, such as the questionnaires, manuals and field control forms.
Field staff were recruited, trained and deployed during the initial stages of the enumeration phase. The actual enumeration exercise was undertaken over a period of about three weeks from 28 August to 15 September 2011, while 28 August 2011 was marked as the reference period or 'Census Day'.
Great efforts were made to check and ensure that the Census data was of high quality to enhance its credibility and increase its usage. Various quality controls were implemented to ensure relevance, timeliness, accuracy, coherence and proper data interpretation. Other activities undertaken to enhance quality included the demarcation of the country into small enumeration areas to ensure comprehensive coverage; the development of structured Census questionnaires after consultat.The post-enumeration phase started with the sending of completed questionnaires to Head Office and the preparation of summaries for the preliminary report, which was published in April 2012. Processing of the Census data began with manual editing and coding, which focused on the household identification section and un-coded parts of the questionnaire. This was followed by the capturing of data through scanning. Finally, the data were verified and errors corrected where necessary. This took longer than planned due to inadequate technical skills.NamibiaNational coverageHousehold and person/individualThe sampling universe is defined as all households (private and institutions) from 2011 Census dataset.Census/enumeration data [cen]The scope of the Population and Housing Census included:
Identification: Constists of region; constituency; urban and rural
Individual characteristics: Relationship to household head, sex, age, marital status, citizenship, birth certificate, birth place, residence, orphanhood, disability, information communication and technology, early childhood development, education, labour force, fertility, and mortality (deaths in the household).
Housing characteristics: Type of housing unit, tenure status, number of rooms, materials, source of energy and water, toilet facility, waste disposal, assets, language, agricultural activity, and migrated workerNamibia Statistics AgencySample Design
The stratified random sample was applied on the constituency and urban/rural variables of households list from Namibia 2011 Population and Housing Census for the Public Use Microdata Sample (PUMS) file. The sampling universe is defined as all households (private and institutions) from 2011 Census dataset. Since urban and rural are very important factor in the Namibia situation, it was then decided to take the stratum at the constituency and urban/rural levels. Some constituencies have very lower households in the urban or rural, the office therefore decided for a threshold (low boundary) for sampling within stratum. Based on data analysis, the threshold for stratum of PUMS file is 250 households. Thus, constituency and urban/rural areas with less than 250 households in total were included in the PUMS file. Otherwise, a simple random sampling (SRS) at a 20% sample rate was applied for each stratum. The sampled households include 93,674 housing units and 418,362 people.
Sample Selection
The PUMS sample is selected from households. The PUMS sample of persons in households is selected by keeping all persons in PUMS households. Sample selection process is performed using Census and Survey Processing System (CSPro).
The sample selection program first identifies the 7 census strata with less than 250 households and the households (private and institutions) with more than 50 people. The households in these areas and with this large size are all included in the sample. For the other households, the program randomly generates a number n from 0 to 4. Out of every 5 households, the program selects the nth household to export to the PUMS data file, creating a 20 percent sample of households. Private households and institutions are equally sampled in the PUMS data file.
Note: The 7 census strata with less than 250 households are: Arandis Constituency Rural, Rehoboth East Urban Constituency Rural, Walvis Bay Rural Constituency Rural, Mpungu Constituency Urban, Etayi Constituency Urban, Kalahari Constituency Urban, and Ondobe Constituency Urban.Face-to-face [f2f]The following questionnaire instruments were used for the Namibia 2011 Population and and Housing Census:
- Form A (Long Form): For conventional households and residential institutions
- Form B1 (Short Form): For special population groups such as persons in transit (travellers), police cells, homeless and off-shore populations
- Form B2 (Short Form): For hotels/guesthouses
- Form B3 (Short Form): For foreign missions/diplomatic corps
- Form C: For recording Emigrant characteristicsEnumerators were trained for the perion of two weeks. Interviews took on average 30 minutes. Interviews were conducted in English, insome cases questions were transilated in local languegues where necessary.
Pilot census
To test the preparedness to undertake the census a pilot census was conducted in September 2010. The pilot census was conducted in all the 13 regions, 23 constituencies and 27 localities of the country; 27 Enumeration Areas (EA) were selected for the test within each locality. Lessons from the pilot census exercise were very instrumental in improving the overall preparations towards successful enumeration.Regional supervisors: Overseening the 2011 census operations at regional level
Constituency supervisors: Overseening the 2011 census operations at constituency level
Team supervisors: Overseening the 2011 census operations at Enumeration Areas and supervised three to four enumerators.
Quality assurance mechanisms
Comprehensive quality assurance guidelines were developed and shared with all field personnel. Four layers of field supervision, plus a monitoring team, were put in place to ensure adequate facilitation, real-time response to emerging issues, and feedback to Census Office during data collection (see under deployment above). Additionally, several control forms and reporting schedules were used during enumeration to facilitate monitoring activities. Field monitoring teams oversaw logistical and administrative aspects of enumeration in each region, as well as performed spot checks to assess whether enumeration activities were proceeding appropriately.The 20% sampled households have a weight of 5 for each record type, and the large households with 50 or more people and the households in areas with less than 250 households all have a weight of 1.Data editing took place at a number of stages throughout the processing, including:
a) During data collection in the field
b) Manual editing and coding in the office
c) During data entry (Primary validation/editing)
Structure checking and completeness using Structured Query Language (SQL) program
d) Secondary editing:
i. Imputations of variables
ii. Structural checking in Census and Survey Processing System (CSPro) programSampling Error
The standard errors of survey estimates are needed to evaluate the precision of the survey estimation. The statistical software package such as SPSS or SAS can accurately estimate the mean and variance of estimates from the survey. SPSS or SAS software package makes use of the Taylor series approach in computing the variance.Data Quality
Great efforts were made to check and ensure that the Census data was of high quality to enhance its credibility and increase its usage. Various quality controls were implemented to ensure relevance, timeliness, accuracy, coherence and proper data interpretation. Other activities undertaken to enhance quality included the demarcation of the country into small enumeration areas to ensure comprehensive coverage; the development of structured Census questionnaires after consultation with government ministries, university expertise and international partners; the preparation of detailed supervisors' and enumerators' instruction manuals to guide field staff during enumeration; the undertaking of comprehensive publicity and advocacy programmes to ensure full Government support and cooperation from the general public; the testing of questionnaires and other procedures; the provision of adequate training and undertaking of intensive supervision using four supervisory layers; the editing of questionnaires at field level; establishing proper mechanisms which ensured that all completed questionnaires were properly accounted for; ensuring intensive verification, validating all information and error corrections; and developing capacity in data processing with support from the international community.Confidentiality of respondents is ensured by Statistics Act No.9, 2011, section 44(2)
