The Namibian government has committed more than N$700 million towards the 2023 Population and Housing Census.

Census field work will be conducted from September 18 to November 3, 2023. This time span will include the enumeration as well as the Post-Enumeration Survey (PES).

The objective of the Census is to provide an accurate count of the country's population, provide data for development, equity, and inclusion, monitor progress, and allocate resources.
