Summary This report summarises some preliminary results from the 2000 Namibia Demographic and Health Survey (2000 NDHS), which was undertaken by the Ministry of Health and Social Services in collaboration with the Central Bureau of Statistics of the National Planning Commission, SIAPAC and UNAM. The NDHS provides a wealth of information on key demographic and health issues. In order to provide reliable results on most of the survey indicators for each of the 13 administrative regions, a sample of more than 6,500 women of childbearing age was selected. Furthermore, to investigate men’s knowledge and attitudes towards family planning, family size and HIV/AIDS, the sample design required that approximately 3,000 men aged 15-59 years be interviewed in a sub-sample of households. With roughly two teams in each region, fieldwork took three months, from 21 September to 15 December 2000.
