Activities for Component 1 are near completion, where survey preparation, design, implementation and data collection of a pilot Household Indebtedness and Financial Inclusion Survey has been completed. The survey covered 1,510 households. Data collection began on October 24, 2017 and ended on November 13, 2017. The survey was conducted jointly with the Bank of Namibia. The process of designing and implementing the survey involved close collaboration between the Namibia Statistics Agency (NSA), the Bank of Namibia, and the World Bank thereby fostering 6/1/2018 Page 1 of 5 Public Disclosure Copy Public Disclosure Copy The World Bank Implementation Status & Results Report Collection, Analysis and Dissemination of Household Survey Data in Namibia (P159953) important institutional linkages for evidence-based policy making. A draft of the report has been done and it is undergoing a peer review process. The report is scheduled for release in July 2018. Activities for Component 2 are near completion, a report on the Namibia Quality Assurance Framework for Statistics (NQAFS) has been produced. The aim here was to develop the Data Quality Assurance Framework and the development of the quality assessment guideline and templates (one for the self-evaluation template and another for the assessment of statistics) for designating statistics as official statistics. For Component 3, some sub-tasks have been completed, some are on-track while others are yet to be initiated. Analytical products based on analysis of the 2015/16 Namibia Households Income and Expenditure Survey (NHIES) data and some training of Namibia Statistics Agency (NSA) has been conducted. The following has been done under this component: 1 . Technical assistance on poverty measurement, including data cleaning and analysis of main indicators 2 . Production of the 2015/16 Namibia Households Income and Expenditure Survey (NHIES) report. The report was released on March 14, 2018. 3 . Analytical work on multidimensional poverty in Namibia has been initiated. The purpose of this assignment is to conduct in-depth analysis of multidimensional poverty and inequality in Namibia. 4 . Four staff attended training on weights calibration. 5 . 15 laptops for the staff of NHIES and Data Processing division were purchased. In terms of other activities that need to be completed before the end of the project, more time is needed to produce additional analytical products based on analysis of NHIES 2015/16 data. Specifically, analytical work and training will be conducted on the assessment of the impact of child social grants on children’s welfare, poverty mapping, income distribution analysis, and distributional impacts of fiscal policy.
