2024 NSDI forum
The Third edition of the Forum, organized by the Namibia Statistics Agency, will take place on the 16-17 October 2024. The Theme of this year’s Forum is titled: “Data-driven Policy and Decision-making through Sound Spatial Data.”
NSDI TRAINING
The NSDI policy stipulates that the NSDI Secretariat and all spatial data custodians should build capacity for the initial development and ongoing administration of the NSDI. Sustained capacity will ensure regular update of spatial data sets within the infrastructure. Several capacity building goals have also been outlined in the NSDI Strategic and Action Plan. As the NSDI Secretariat, the NSA has been conducting basic GIS training and rolling the Open Source GIS system in regional councils and local authorities in order to achieve these goals..
census mapping
In 2021, the NSA successfully completed the census mapping
exercise which is the process of dividing the country into smaller
units of land, during which EA boundaries and type are clearly
described. One of the outputs of the census mapping exercise
are the geo-referenced dwelling unit frame which enables us;
1. To locate every dwelling geographically on a map;
2. To collect associated attribute information about each dwelling unit;
3. To continuously maintain such a frame
