Foreword
This report covers the detailed results of 2001 Namibia Population and Housing Census for
Oshikoto Regional Profile. 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 second report was the National one, which was
released in August 2003, and provides detailed results at national and regional levels.
The current report provides regional detailed basic highlights from the Census. These
highlights were derived from detailed tabulations and analysis, which were 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 that 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. The
information relates to what is happening to the population.
The report relates to all persons who were in Oshikoto 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 Oshikoto, but were present during
the Census Reference Night, are included in this report. Information on the population, which
usually resides in the various regions, has been 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 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.
It is our sincere hope that the Census results, and in particular this report, will be put to good
use by both planners and policy makers for objective formulation and implementation of
programmes and policies for the development of our nation.

Chapter 1 General Overview

1 General Overview
1.1 Total Enumerated Population
The total population enumerated in Oshikoto region was 161 007. Out of these, 84 620 were females
while 76 387 were males. This gives a sex ratio of close to 90 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 Oshikoto, but were not present on the Census reference night, were enumerated
elsewhere if they spent the 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 constitutes around 98 percent of the total enumerated population.
Population in institutions is only one percent of the total population. Around 70 percent of the
population is found in households with a size of 6 or more persons.
Figure 1.2 presents the distribution of households by size. About 10 percent of the households are
made up of one person, while the population in these households makes up less than 4 percent of the
total household population in the region. Around 45 percent of the households have 6 or more persons;
but their population, as noted above is 70 percent of the total household population in the region.

1.2 Population Distribution
The enumerated population distribution by urban and rural areas as well as by constituencies is shown
in Table 1.2.1 below. It should be noted that urban areas are so proclaimed by the Government.
About 146 078 (97%) persons of the total population were enumerated in the rural parts of the region.
The urban population is only 9 percent of the total population
There are 10 constituencies in the region. Oniipa constituency is the most populous with about 24 700
persons, followed by Omuthiyagwiipundi. Guinas is the least populous with about 9 000 persons.
Except for the constituencies of Eengodi, Guinas and Tsumeb, the rest of the constituencies have
relatively more females than males.

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
At least 4 out of 10 persons in Oshikoto region 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 Oshikoto region is relatively young as 43
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 very narrow apex. The proportion of the population aged
60 years and above, i.e. the senior citizens, is about 8 percent. Nearly half of the population belongs
to the economically active age groups of 15 to 59 years.

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 are a significant differences on the age structure between urban and rural areas.
The proportion of the young population, i.e. under 15 years of age, is 32 and 45 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 5 and 8. The rural areas have 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 of 15 – 59 years. This phenomenon can be observed in the pyramids
for the two areas. 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 ten constituencies is shown in Table
2.1.1. All the constituencies reflect age structures that are basically similar. They all have a fairly
young population – more than 30 percent– and an old age population of around 5 percent in Tsumeb to
11 percent in Onayena constituency. At a closer look, it is noticeable that age structures in Tsumeb
has the same features as that of urban areas. Meanwhile, the age structures in the rest of the
constituencies resemble that in the rural areas.
2.4 Sex Composition
For every 100 females in Oshikoto region there are 90 Males
Table 2.4.1 shows the sex ratio as well as the sex composition (percents) of the population by area.
Females make up 53 percent of the whole population in the region. The sex ratio, which is the number
of males per 100 females, is 90. 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 young population below the age of 10
years. For the age groups 10 – 24, there are significantly more males than females. After age 25, the
sex ratio declines, implying that there are significantly more females than males in the higher age
groups. For the Eengodi, Guinas and Tsumeb constituencies, the sex ratio is above 100 while in the
other constituencies it is less than 100. With regard to Eengodi, Guinas and Tsumeb there are more
males than females.

2.5 Marital status
23 percent of all persons aged 15 + in Oshikoto region 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 54
percent of females and 65 percent of males had never been married at the time of the Census. Around
7 percent of all persons aged at least 15 years are in consensual unions, i.e. marriage without legal or
customary ceremony. It can be observed that there are relatively more females than males who were
widowed. About 7 percent of all females aged 15 years and above are widowed.

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 shows the place of
birth for all persons who were
enumerated in the region. It can
be observed that 72 percent of the
enumerated population were born
in the region. The majority of
those who were not born in the
region were born in the
neighbouring regions of
Ohangwena (13%), Oshana (5%)
and Otjozondjupa (2%). Only
about 2 percent of the enumerated
population were born outside
Namibia.
Chapter 3 Disability
23
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 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 persons with disability by area and sex as well as by type of
disability. It can be seen from the first table that the proportion of the persons with disability in
Oshikoto Region was almost 6 percent. There are no major differences between females and males.
Nor are there any differences between urban and rural areas, where the proportion of the persons with
disability in each area is almost 6 percent. However, differences can be seen at constituency level.
The proportion of persons with disability ranges from about 4 to 6 percent respectively for Eengodi
and Olukonda constituencies.
It can be observed in Table 3.2 that blindness is the most common type of disability in Oshikoto
region. It affects 29 percent of all the disabled population. Impairment of legs accounts for 24 percent
while deaf affects 24 percent of all the persons living with disability.

4 Early Childhood Development
The questions on the existence of Early Childhood Development (ECD) programmes, which were
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 Crèche/Kindergarten, Day Care
Centre/ Nursery School and Pre-Primary School for preparation to enter formal Primary education.
The Census counted about 19 300 children aged 3 – 6 years of whom 51 percent are females and 49
percent are males. Table 4.1 below indicates that 38 percent of the children in this age group were
attending an ECD programme. There are some differences between girls and boys where relatively
higher proportions of girls (41%) have attended an ECD programme as compare to (36%) of boys.
There are hardly any differences between urban and rural areas with regard to ECD programme
attendance. Differences in the proportion of children attending ECD programmes can be observed at
constituency level. These range from 21 to 51 percent respectively for Guinas and Olukonda
constituencies. Again, there are no notable differences between girls and boys in all the
constituencies.

It can be observed in Table 4.2 that out of the 7 400 children aged 3 – 6 years attending any type of
early childhood development programme, 82 percent are attending crèche or kindergarten. There are
relatively small differences for the proportions of girls and boys who are attending such an ECD
programme. There are very few children (2%) who are attending a day care centre or a nursery
school. Another 16 percent of the children are attending pre-primary school.
There are hardly any differences in the proportions of children are attending these different
programmes in urban and rural areas. It should be noted that there are some slight differences between
girls and boys in terms of the numbers attending any of these programmes.

5 Education and Literacy
The questions on education and literacy that were asked in the Census are given in Appendix 1
together with their concepts and definitions. 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.
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 with
understanding?”

About 132 000 persons aged 6
years and above were
enumerated in the census. Out
of these, 14 percent had never
attended school. About 41
percent were currently
attending and 43 percent had
left school. A higher
proportion had left school for
females than males.
The figure reveals some
differences in school attendance
for those who never attended and
those who had left school in
urban and rural areas. Relatively
more persons have never
attended school in rural than in
urban areas, while a higher
proportion has left school in
urban than in rural areas. Rural
areas have a higher proportion of
persons who were still at school.

5.3 Educational Attainment
Table 5.3.1 shows that females outnumber males at all levels of educational attainment for all persons
aged 15 years and above and who had left school. About 43 percent of these persons did not complete
primary education. Another 38 percent had completed primary education. Close to 10 percent of them
had completed secondary education. An additional 3 percent had attained a tertiary level of education.
The figure shows school
enrolment rates in single years
for the population aged 6 – 24
years. About 90 percent of all
children aged 8 – 13 years
were attending school. The
highest enrolment rate is 94
percent for females aged 10 –
13 years. Enrolment rates for
males are slightly lower than
those for females at ages 6 –
18 years.
The figure shows that there are
no significant differences in
school enrolment rates at early
ages. Differences exist as from
age 17 years whereby the
enrolment rate is higher in rural
areas as compared to the urban
ones. The highest enrolment rate
is 94 percent at age 11 years in
urban areas.

5.4 Literacy
Census data on literacy 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. A provision was
given for literacy in two languages for each person.
The literacy question was put to all persons aged 6 years and above. It is more relevant to use 15 years
as the lower age limit for indicators of adult literacy, which gives about 76 100 literate people in
Oshikoto region. This leads to a literacy rate of 84 percent for all persons aged 15 years and above.
There are hardly any differences between female and males.
Table 5.4.1 shows that there is a slightly higher proportion of literate persons in urban than in rural
areas. However, there are no notable differences between the sexes within the respective areas.
At constituency level, the literacy rate ranges from 48 percent in Guianas to 95 percent in Olukonda.
Significant differences between females and males can be observed in the constituencies of Eengodi
and Guinas.

6 Labour Force
The Census asked all persons aged 8 years and above about their activity during the seven days prior
to the Census night of 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, According
to this definition, people who had worked for at least one hour, but had another activity, as main
activity, for example as students or homemakers, were economically active. The questions on
economic activity that were asked in the Census are given in Appendix 1 together with their concepts
and definitions.
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, income recipients and severely disabled. These persons were
not in any paid or self-employment during the 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, in Oshikoto region, about 40 percent of the population aged 15 years and above
belongs to the economically active group, which forms the labour force, while about 57 percent is
outside the labour force. The labour force is made up of the employed (55%) and the unemployed
(45%). In the economically inactive population group, students make up 34 percent, while
homemakers constitute 45 percent.

6.1 Labour force participation rate
Labour force participation rate is defined as the proportion of all persons who are economically active,
i.e. the proportion of those belonging to the labour force. Table 6.1.1 shows that the labour force
participation rate for the region is almost 40 percent. The rate is higher for males (45%) than for
females (35%). The participation rates are relatively higher for urban (71%) than for rural (36%)
areas. The rates for males are higher than those for females in both areas.
Chapter 6 Labour Force
31
There are significant variations at constituency level. The rates range from 28 percent in Onayena to
71 percent in Tsumeb. These rates are relatively higher for males than for females in all the
constituencies.

6.2 Labour force
Table 6.2.1 shows that 55 percent of the population in the labour force is employed, while about 45
percent is unemployed. Employed males heavily outnumber the employed females. This leads to an
unemployment rate of 52 percent for females as against 38 percent for males. 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 males outnumber females in all the categories of employment status. Almost
42 percent of all employed persons are employees in the private sector, where the number of males is
almost double that of females. About 46 percent of all the males are employed in this sector. Close to
24 percent of all employed persons are employed in the public sector, with slightly more males than
females. There are relatively small numbers of employed persons in the rest of the sectors.
The Labour force participation Rate
is the proportion of the
economically active population in a
given population group, i.e. the
number of economically active
persons divided by the total
population in the same population
group.

6.4 Employed persons by occupation
It can be observed in Table 6.4.1 that the largest occupational group is elementary occupations, which
includes labourers and other unskilled occupations, and constitute close to 23 percent of all the
employed persons. About 3 out 5 persons in this group are males. This occupational group is
followed closely the service workers, shop and market sales workers who also make up 23 percent.
This group is heavily dominated by females. In fact, one third of all employed females belong to this
occupational group. The group of skilled agricultural and fishery workers make up 15 percent of all
employed persons, where the number of males is double that of females. Professionals together with
associate professionals make up another 14 percent of all employed persons. Females heavily
outnumber males in this occupational category. Craft and related trade workers constitute 12 percent
of all employed persons, and here, males heavily outnumber females. Clerks make up about 4 percent
of all employed persons and are heavily female dominated, with about 6 percent of all employed
females under this category.

6.7 Unemployment rate
The rate of unemployment in Oshikoto region is 45 percent
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.

Unemployment Rate %

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.
Figure 6.7.2 indicates that females in
all areas in the region have higher
unemployment rates than males. The
unemployment rate is highest for
females and males in Onayena,
followed by Onyaanya and and
Olukonda.
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 higher for females
than males in all age groups.
Almost 50 percent of all
unemployed have previously
worked. To a larger extent, younger
people are first time job seekers.
Chapter 6 Labour Force

Table 6.7.1 shows that 12 percent of all unemployed persons had never attended school, while another
32 percent had incomplete primary education. Another 40 percent, with females heavily
outnumbering the males, had attained a primary level of education. Slightly over one out of ten
unemployed persons have attained secondary level of education. The proportion of unemployment
persons with tertiary level of education is 1 percent.

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 during the Census Reference Night was not counted in that household but in
the household/place where he or she spent the Census 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 Oshikoto region is composed of 6 members. The
household size in urban areas was made up of around 4 members as against 6 members in rural areas.
At constituency level, the size ranges between 4 and 6 members. There are hardly any significant
differences in household size between the constituencies, except for Tsumeb where the average size is
only about 4 members. Detailed information on household size is presented in the Appendix 3.

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 Oshikoto Region. Own children, i.e.
daughters and sons, account for 33 percent of all household members. This implies that nuclear
families, i.e. head, spouse and own children, make up about 57 percent of all household members.
Other relatives to the head/spouse make up 15 percent, while grandchildren account for 22 percent.
This indicates that extended family members, that is, other relatives of head/spouse, constitute about
38 percent of all household members.
Tables 7.2.2 and 7.2.3 present the respective urban and rural household population composition by
relationship to the head/spouse. In both urban and rural areas, children of the head/spouse are still the
predominant group with 29 and 32 percent respectively. There are slight differences in the proportions
of other relatives to the head/spouse in urban (19%) and rural areas (15%). The proportion of
grandchildren is higher in rural (23%) than in urban (9%) areas.
Table 7.2.4 shows the distribution of households by area and by the sex of the head of household. It is
interesting to note that, for the region, the proportion of female headed households is equal to that of
Chapter 7 Household Composition and Characteristics
37
themale headed ones. The proportion of male-headed households is higher in urban (62%) than in rural
(48%) areas. Variations can be observed at constituency level. Except for Eengodi, Guinas, Okankolo
and Tsumeb, the proportion of the female headed households in the rest of the constituencies is above
50 percent.

7.3 Access to means of communication
The Census asked all households about accessibility to selected communication 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
accessibility to these communication facilities by area. Figure 7.3.1 presents the regional situation
with regard to accessibility to these facilities. It can be observed that the radio is accessible to 79
percent of all households in the region. The computer is the least accessible, with only 2 percent.

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. For example,
the television is accessible to 61 percent of the households in urban areas as compared to only 12
percent in the rural ones. The telephone is accessible to 46 percent as against 13 percent in urban and
rural areas respectively.
At constituency level, Eengodi, Okankolo, Omuntele, and Omuthiyagwiipundi are the ones with least
accessibility to the facilities/services under consideration.
7.4 Main language spoken in the household
The Census included a question on the main language usually spoken or most spoken at home. In the
Oshikoto region, several languages were identified. Tables 7.4.1 indicates the distribution of
households by the main language spoken at home. Oshiwambo is the most spoken language in
households in the region, with about 87 percent of the households communicating in it. Nama/Damara
follows this language with about 5 percent of the households communicating in it.

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 56 percent of the households
having reported so. Wages and salaries, as the main source of income, was reported by 21 percent of
the households. Over 1 out of 10 households in the region relied on pension as their main source of
income.
Significant differences exist between urban and rural areas. Whereas about 67 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 14. The opposite is the case for farming whereby 64
percent of the rural households relied on it as against only 1 percent in urban areas.
At constituency level, it is interesting to note that most of the households in the constituencies reported
farming as their main source of income except for Guinas and Tsumeb whereby more than half of the
households reported wages and salaries.

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 dwelling are predominant as they are occupied by three quarters of
all households in the region. Close to 17 percent of the households live in detached, semi detached
houses. There are significant differences between urban and rural areas with respect to the types of
housing units. While 79 percent of the urban households reside in detached/semi-detached dwellings,
85 percent of the rural households reside in traditional dwelling units.
At constituency level, detached and semi-detached houses predominate in Tsumeb (79%) and Guinas
(45%), while traditional dwellings dominate in the rest of the constituencies. It should be noted
improvised housing units (shacks) are fairly common in Guinas (15%) and Tsumeb (7%).

8.2 Type of tenure
Information on tenure is presented in Table 8.2.1. Most of the housing units (60%) in the region are
occupied by owners, without any mortgage. This phenomenon is more common in rural (77%) than in
urban (35%) areas. Housing units occupied by owners with mortgage are found mainly in urban areas
(31%). Likewise, households who reside in rented dwellings not tied to their jobs are found mainly in
the urban areas (19%). A significant proportion (11%) of dwelling units provided by employers are
found in rural areas of the region.
At constituency level, relatively high proportions of the households own their dwellings without
mortgage in all constituencies, except Guinas and Tsumeb. Owner-occupied dwellings with mortgage
as well as rented ones predominate in Tsumeb. In Guinas, about 40 percent of the households reside in
dwellings provided by 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 distribution of the average number of persons per room by area is shown in Table
8.3.1 below.

The average number of persons per room
provides an indicator of the extent of
overcrowding, which can lead to the
spread of contagious diseases among the
members of the household.
The region has, on average, only one
person per room. It is slightly higher in
urban than in rural areas. At constituency
level, the average number of persons per
room is lowest in Onayena and highest in
Guinas.

Information on the main materials used for the construction of roofs, floors and walls 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 are thatched grass. Two thirds of the households reside in dwellings with such roofs.
Another 30 percent of the households live in dwellings whose roofs are of corrugated iron sheets.
There are distinct differences between urban and rural areas. Whereas the predominant roofing
material in the urban (92%) areas is the corrugated iron sheet that for the rural (76%) areas is thatched
grass.
At constituency level, roofs with corrugated iron sheets predominate in Guinas (79%) and Tsumeb
(92%), while those with thatched grass predominate in the rest of the constituencies.
With respect to materials used for the floor, sand is the most common material. Table 8.4.2 shows that
slightly over half of the households in the region occupy dwellings with this type of floor. Dwellings
with cement floors are occupied by 24 percent of the households, while those with mud/clay floors are
occupied by another 23 percent. Differences can be observed between urban and rural areas.
Dwellings with cement floors are predominant in urban areas with 85 percent of the households
occupying them. In the case of rural areas, dwellings with sand floors predominate with 73 percent of
the households occupying them, followed by those with mud/clay (26%) and cement (16%) floors.
At constituency level, dwellings with sand floors predominate in all the constituencies except Tsumeb.
Dwellings with sand and cement floors are also fairly common in some of the constituencies.
With regard to materials used for the construction of walls, wooden poles, stick and grass predominate
in the region. About 57 percent of the households live in dwellings with walls made with such
materials. There are distinct differences between urban and rural areas. In the former, the
predominant material for the walls are cement blocks/bricks (84%), while in the latter wooden poles,
stick and mud (65%) predominate.
At constituency level, dwellings with walls of wooden poles, stick and mud predominate almost all
constituencies except Guinas and Tsumeb. In Tsumeb walls of cement blocks/bricks predominate,
while in Guinas both cement blocks/bricks as well as corrugated iron sheets are the most commonly
materials used for wall construction.

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 (84%) in the region rely on wood
and charcoal from wood for cooking. This proportion is even higher in rural areas (92%) than in
urban ones (23%). A higher proportion of households use electricity for cooking urban (57%) than
in rural (3%) areas.
At constituency level, all of them, except Tsumeb, extensively make use of wood/charcoal from wood
for cooking purposes. In Tsumeb, 57 percent of the household use electricity, 23 percent use
wood/charcoal from wood, while another 16 percent utilise gas for cooking purposes.
It can be observed in Table 8.5.2 that, in the region as a whole, the candle, wood, paraffin and
electricity are all used by households for lighting purposes. The corresponding proportions of
households are 34, 29, 20 and 14 percent respectively. In the urban areas more than three quarters of
the households use electricity for lighting. On the other hand, in the rural areas, the candle, wood and
paraffin are all utilised, with the corresponding proportions being 36, 33 and 23 percent respectively.
At Constituency level, except for Tsumeb, households in the rest of the constituencies make use
paraffin, the candle and wood for lighting purposes. Most of the households (77%) in Tsumeb use
electricity for the same purpose.
Table 8.5.3 shows that about 21 percent of the households do not heat their homes. Almost two thirds
of the households in the region use wood/charcoal from wood to heat their homes. In urban areas,
electricity and wood/charcoal from wood are the main sources of energy for heating purposes. The
corresponding proportion of households using them are 47 and 19 percent respectively. On the other
hand, in rural areas, most of the households (72%) use only wood/charcoal from wood for the same
purpose.
With regard to constituencies, other than Tsumeb, most of the households in the rest of the
constituencies use wood/charcoal from wood. In Tsumeb, about 47 percent of the households make
use of electricity for the same purpose.

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
88% of all households in Oshikoto region have access to safe water
The percent distribution of households by source of water for drinking and cooking is shown in Figure
9.1.1 as well as in Table 9.1.1 for the region, urban and rural areas and constituencies. 43 percent of
the households in the region depend on piped water within their compounds for drinking and cooking.
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, 88 percent of the households have access
to safe water.
It can be observed in Table 9.1.1 that about 43 percent of the households in the region have piped
water within their compounds. Another 40 percent get their water from public pipes. However, about
7 percent still rely on rivers, streams, dams and canals for their water.
There are distinct differences between urban and rural areas. In urban areas safe water is available to
98 percent of the households. The corresponding proportion for the rural areas is 87 percent. Whereas
piped water within the compound is available to 78 percent of the households, the proportion in the
rural areas is only 39 percent. On the other hand, water from public pipes is available to 42 percent of
the households in rural area as against 19 percent in the urban ones. Higher proportions of households
in rural (4%) areas than in urban (1%) ones get their water from natural sources.
In constituencies, the proportion of households with safe water ranges from 73 percent in Engondi to
98 percent in Tsumeb. Most of the households rely on water in pipes within their compounds or public
pipes. Safe boreholes are a common feature in the constituencies of Engondi, Guinas and Okankolo.

Table 9.1.2 presents the percent distribution of households by distance to the water source. It can be
seen that over 50 percent of the households are relatively close to the water source with a distance of
100 metres or less. However, about 20 percent of the households in the region have to cover more
than one kilometre to fetch their water. The situation is worse for rural than for urban areas.
Relatively higher proportions of rural than urban households cover relatively longer distances to fetch
their water.

9.2 Type of toilet facility
Seven out ten households in Oshikoto region have no toilet facility
Table 9.2 presents the percent distribution of households by type of toilet facility. About 7 out of 10
households in Oshikoto region have no toilet facility. Instead, they utilise the bush. Only 16 percent
of the households in the region use a flush toilet facility. Notable differences exist between urban and
rural areas. Whereas 79 percent of the households in the rural areas have no toilet facility, the
corresponding proportion in the urban ones is only 3 percent. Over 90 percent of the households in
the urban areas use a flush toilet while the corresponding percentage in the rural areas is 5.
Alarmingly high proportions of the households in most of the constituencies have no access to toilet
facilities The notable exceptions are Tsumeb and Olukonda. Itiss worth noting that the pit long drop
latrine is utilised by about 40 percent of the households in Olukonda.

9.3 Garbage and refuse disposal
Table 9.3 shows the percent distribution of households by means of disposing garbage/refuse. The
most common means of disposing garbage in Oshikoto region is incineration, which is utilised by one
third of the households. This means of disposal is utilised mainly inn rural (38%) areas. Regular pick-
up of garbage is a common feature in urban areas with 58 percent of the households enjoying this
service. Incineration, the rubbish pit and roadside dumping are all popular means of garbage disposal
in all the constituencies, except Tsumeb, where regular collection is the most common.

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 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 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 Oshikoto region have 4 to 5 children
The total fertility rates for Oshikoto region 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 to
five children. Women in urban areas were expected to have four children, while those in rural areas
gave birth to five children. The total fertility rates for constituencies ranged from about four in
Olukonda and Tsumeb to about eight in Okankolo.

10.2 Fertility Pattern
Teen-age females contribute about 9 percent to the total fertility rate
in Oshikoto
The pattern of fertility for women in child-bearing ages in Oshikoto region is shown in Table 10.2..1
Motherhood starts at a fairly early age, and child bearing is still relatively significant in the late ages.
Teen-age females contribute 9 percent to the total fertility, while women aged 40 years and above
contribute another 12 percent. Child-bearing for women is concentrated in the 20–39 age groups
which contribute 80 percent to the total fertility in the region.

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 deaths 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, 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
Oshikoto 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, Oshikoto Region, 2001 Census
Year Total Females Males Not stated
1998 1 843 831 1 012
1999 1 793 821 972
2000 2 421 1 076 1 345
2001* 3 669 1 728 1 808 134
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 and the constituencies. The percent increase ranges from 83 to 140 in Onayena
and Onyaanya constituencies respectively. The magnitude of mortality in the region can also be
observed by looking at households which had at least one death within the last 3 years before the
Census. This is shown in figure 11.1.2. For the region as a whole, close to two out of five households
have experienced at least one death within the three years before the Census. Over one out of four
households in Onayena have had a death within the last three years.

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. This provides an overall measure of child mortality. 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 Oshikoto Region is
57 and 60 infant deaths for 1 000 live births respectively for females and males. Infant mortality is
lower for urban than for rural areas. With regard to constituencies, Onyaanya has the highest infant
mortality rates for females (71), while Okankolo has the highest for males (86). Whereas Olukonda
constituency has the lowest infant mortality for females (22), Onayena has the lowest for males (36).
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.
Chapter 11 Mortality and Orphanhood
55
The life expectancy at birth in the region is 51 and 50 years respectively for females and males. Rural
areas are worse off than the urban areas. Onyaanya females and Oniipa males had the lowest life
expectancy at birth of 38 and 43 years respectively. The life expectancy at birth for females in Guinas
and for males in Olukonda are relatively high when compared to the rest of the constituencies.

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. It can be observed
that 29 percent of the households in Oshikoto 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 about 4
percent. This implies that in 1 out of every 25 households there is a child without both parents,
relying on extended family relatives for survival. It can be seen that more households in rural areas as
compared to urban areas have orphans. At constituency level, Onayena has the highest proportion of
households with at least one child who has lost one parent and Tsumeb has the lowest. The
constituency with the highest percentage of households with at least one child who has lost both
parents is Onyaanya and the one with the lowest is Guinas.

The number of orphaned children aged below 15 years is presented in Table 11.2.2. For the region as
a whole, 13 percent of all children under this age have lost one parent. This is more than one out of
every 10 children under 15 years of age living with only one parent. The proportion of orphans under
the same age without both parents is slightly over 1 percent. This implies that more than 1 out of
every 100 children under the age of 15 have no parents. There are hardly any differences between
urban and rural areas, nor between constituencies.

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.
The categories used were as follows:
(i) Piped water inside the house: Water drawn from pipes installed in the
house and originating from a central source- river, pond, lake or
borehole.
(ii) 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.
(iii) 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.
(iv) Borehole: Same as wells, but deeper and has a pump for drawing water.
(v) Borehole with open tank: This is a borehole where the water drawn is
pumped into an open tank right next to it.
(vi) Borehole with tank covered: This is a borehole where the water drawn is
pumped into a tank which is covered right next to it.
(vii) 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.
(viii) Canal: Man-made open flowing water source.

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:
(i) Children ever born: the total number of children born alive by
respondent during her lifetime.
(ii) 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.
(iii) Number of children born alive and living elsewhere: the number of
children born alive to respondent but who were living elsewhere on
Census night.
(iv) 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.
