The Namibia Statistics Agency (NSA), in collaboration with Statistics Norway, engaged media houses to enhance the dissemination of relevant statistics and statistical literacy within the framework of the two organisations' efforts.

Some of the issues deliberated on during the discussion were better ways to collect data and get accurate statistics.

In addition, the discussion was centred on how important it is for the NSA to provide and update statistics on the internet and how statistics can be made easier to understand by ordinary people.

Namibia's economy has expanded in the third quarter to 7.2%, compared to 5.4% in the corresponding period last year.

The growth is attributed to the mining and quarrying sector, which posted a phenomenal 51.7% growth in real added value.

This is revealed in the third quarter report of the Namibia Statistics Agency (NSA).

The highest revision of the third quarter was mining and quarrying, which recorded a robust growth of 20.3 percentage points, surpassing the 30.6% growth during the same period in 2022.

The Statistician-General of the Namibia Statistics Agency (NSA), Alex Shimuafeni, has urged a group of disgruntled youth at Tsumkwe to engage them instead of picketing.

The group of youth vowed to disrupt tomorrow's enumerator training and boycott the National Housing and Population Census once it starts, citing discrimination.
