纳米比亚统计局(NSA)周四正式宣布，2023年人口和住房普查将于9月18日至11月3日进行。

NSA Corporate Communications Manager Iipumbu Sakaria said in a statement that this national undertaking aims to gather essential data on population size, distribution, characteristics, as well as housing and living conditions.
统计局企业沟通经理Iipumbu Sakaria在一份声明中说，这项国家任务旨在收集有关人口规模、分布、特征以及住房和生活条件的基本数据。

"The preparations are well underway to ensure a comprehensive and accurate enumeration process takes place. The information gathered will serve as a cornerstone for evidence-based planning and decision-making, policy formulation, as well as equitable resource allocation," he said.
他说：“为了确保全面准确的人口普查过程，准备工作正在积极进行中。收集到的信息将为基于证据的规划和决策、政策制定以及公平的资源分配提供基石。”

The NSA has recently advertised the mass recruitment of more than 13,000 census field staff, including enumerators, enumeration supervisors, data clerks, and IT field technicians, Sakaria said, adding that the agency is also actively recruiting 38 office-based positions such as statisticians, application programmers, junior legal advisors, administrative assistants, system administrators, web developers, publicity officers, and payroll administrators.
Sakaria补充说，NSA最近广告招募了超过13,000名普查工作人员，包括普查员、普查监督员、数据文员和IT技术员，同时该机构还积极招聘38个办公室职位，如统计学家、应用程序员、初级法律顾问、行政助理、系统管理员、网站开发人员、公关官员和薪酬管理员。

The census is conducted every ten years. The population census has been postponed since 2021 and 2022 due to competing priorities such as the COVID-19 budget prioritization, but this year for the 2023-2024 financial year, an amount of 706 million Namibia dollars (about 47.4 million U.S. dollars) was allocated by the government for the exercise.
纳米比亚每十年进行一次人口普查。由于COVID-19预算优先级等因素，人口普查自2021年和2022年以来一直被推迟，但在2023-2024财政年度，政府拨出了7.06亿纳米比亚元(约合4740万美元)用于此项工作。
