The 24th of September is Population and Housing Census Reference Night, where everyone, regardless of nationality, age, or social status, will be counted.

The census is the only time that everyone in the country is counted, and it should include newborn babies.

The Namibian Statistics Agency (NSA), in partnership with local law enforcement, is in full swing with preparations for the 2023 Population and Housing Census, as most of the processes have been concluded and all systems are ready for the action phase to commence.
