In its content Namibia social statistics report is the most extensive and recent publication on social statistics in Namibia that offers a broad picture of social processes in the country. For this publication, the data cover the time period from 2010 to 2014. The report provides information on social sectors of the national economy produce from administrative records of the various ministries/offices/agencies of Government in the areas of education, gender, health, road accidents, crime and justices, and safety and correctional services.
Information in the report is given in tables and charts, thus simplifying the perception of the information. In addition to the statistical information, explanations of the main statistical terms, methodological information on data sources and calculation methods of selected indicators are published in the report. Statistical information was obtained by conducting stakeholders’ workshop to access the quality of data available in the country. The information source is indicated at the beginning of each chapter, and at the bottom of tables and charts.
With this publication, the Namibia Statistics Agency (NSA) is providing additional statistics besides household surveys and censuses for policy makers to improve on their decision-making process and in the formulation of better policies and programmes for the realization of development plans and Vision 2030.

Methodological NoteThis report is produced by the Namibia Statistics Agency to provide the reader with concise and condensed statistical information on Namibia particularly in education, gender, health, road accidents, crime and justices, and safety and correctional sectors of the economy. A lot of data needed for planning, monitoring and evaluation of development programmes such as the National Development Plans (NDP), Vision 2030 and the Millennium Development Goals (MGGs) comes from these sectors. The same data are also needed at the national level for the management of sector-specific programmes and projects; and as well as for evaluating and comparing the performances of various line ministries.
For this report efforts were made to present as far as possible a comprehensive picture of the country social statistics for the period of 2010 to 2014.
A social statistical publication ought to be released timely and regularly at least once a year. This however, has not been the case for Namibia for a long time due to various reasons. The last Statistical Abstract with some aspect of social statistics for the country was last published in 2000. Demand for social statistics however continues to grow by day as more people have realized the importance of data from these sectors in making informed decision and for evidence-based planning.
The process of gathering of administrative data in Namibia
The information used for this publication is collected from administrative records of ministries, government offices and agencies operating in the social sectors of our interest (education, gender, health, road accidents, crime and justices, and safety and correctional services). The process of acquiring administrative data from various institutions in the past has always been cumbersome and protracted with some producers resisting to provide the required information on time. In order to solicit the supports and corporations of key ministries, government offices and agencies in charge the sectors of interest for this publication, a stakeholders’ workshop was organized by the NSA on the 10th of June 2014.
Participants/stakeholders who attended the workshop were given opportunity to do a short presentation on the type of data they collect, the systems they use, challenges and what they would want NSA to assist them with in the future for better coordination and compilation of social statistics within their mandate. From their various presentations, it became obvious that only few of the invited institutions compile and publish regular statistics of social nature. In addition, many who attended the workshop though are willing to be compiling social statistics from their records; nevertheless, they lack the capability to do so regularly, timeously and in coherent or standardized manner. This is because many do not have a dedicated division for the compilation of social statistics or staff to do so; or they do not have a management of information system (MIS) in place.
At the end of the workshop the following resolutions were agreed to by all parties:
1. Stakeholders who are already compiling social statistics were advised to provide what it is available to the NSA for the release of first publication (this publication).
2. A Social Statistic Sector Committee (SSSC) should be formed with representation from each ministry or organization producing social statistics to coordinate the Sector Statistic Plan (SPP) for harmonization, standardization, regularly and timely releases of social statistical reports in the country.
3. The NSA is to initiate a Sector Assessment Study and share its report with political leadership of the sector and also with the NSA statistical committees.

For this publication, the data sets used were compiled by paying individual visit to each sector by the NSA Team to discuss, review and extract the needed data from their systems. After compilations and tabulations, tables, figures and charts were sent back to the various organizations for final vetting and validation of the correctness of what has been compiled.
General notations:
“*”means information could not be availed because either the information was only collected later or the entity reported on did not exist at the time of collection.
“0” means there was zero information to report on.
Organization and scope of the abstract
The Statistical Abstract is organized in chapters to provide summarized view of social-economic facts about Namibia. Tables are presented in a sequential manner to give as far as possible, a coherent picture of the sectors presented. The scope of the abstract is evolving to cater for the growing needs of the users of social statistics in Namibia.

Chapter 2: Orphans And Vulnerable Children An orphan is a child aged 0-17 years whose maternal mother or paternal father or both are dead. A vulnerable child refers to a child with a high probability of experiencing a welfare loss above a socially accepted norm, and as well as a lack of appropriate risk management instruments in place which may results in risky/uncertain events on the part of the child,
This chapter gives an indication on number of orphan children in the country and different types of grants that were offered them in 2014. The information is obtained from the Ministry of Gender Equality and Child Welfare.

Chapter 3: Road AccidentsRoad accidents are one of the major causes of deaths in Namibia. What is most worrying is the fact that road accidents are on increase despite efforts by the police and campaign by MVA and partners to reduce these incidents. Death on the roads and injuries due to motor accidents are affecting the most productive group of the population mostly ages 21 to 45 years. Men are mostly the victims of deaths on the roads. Funds due to motor vehicle accidents are on increase and this place a heavy burden to the government budget. Information on motor vehicle accidents is obtained from the Motor Vehicle Accident Fund (MVA).

3.1 Crashes
Figure 3.1 below shows the crashes that resulted in injuries or fatalities from 2010 to 2013. Number of crashes that resulted in injuries or fatalities has been on the increase from 2010 to 2013. There was a small drop of 63 crashes in the number of road crashes recorded between 2012 and 2013. This slight drop is however insignificant and cannot be explained at this point in time.

Chapter 4: Law And OrderThe source for the compilation of this statistics for this chapter is the Namibian Correctional Service (NCS), of the Ministry of Safety and Security which was previously known as the Namibian Prison Service (NPS). The Namibian Correctional Service together with the Namibian Police (NAMPOL), are mainly responsible for ensuring law and order, and public safety in the country. The NCS contributes to public safety primarily through the administering of court-imposed sentences for offenders. This involves managing 13 correctional facilities across the country of various size, function and architectural design, with various types of offender populations, and in some instances, with the challenge of dealing with overcrowded conditions. NCS also administers some post-sentence supervision of offenders, though its resources is still limited in this regard, and more recently, NCS have been developing its capacity to monitor those offenders who have been sentenced to Community Service Orders.

In this section, only the top 10 Diagnosis/ causes of admissions for the years 2010, 2011, 2012 and 2013, are presented in Table 5.2. It is important to note that DHIS does not record the patient’s personal information, gender, or age hence the information on causes of hospital admission are not aggregated by either of these demographic variables. The data refers to ‘Diagnosis’ or causes of admission, and not as diseases, hence the display of Spontaneous delivery as the highest diagnosis or cause of admission in most facilities in the country is very common and highest for all the years.
