This study provides a picture of the extent of poverty within a sub-sample of Namibian society. The three study zones chosen provide a contrast between different types of communities and environments in Namibia: (1) Ombalanto district in Omusati region, a rural community in northern Namibia; (2) Katutura, an urban community around Windhoek; and (3) Gibeon in Hardap region, a rural town in the south. The authors identify the socio-economic characteristics of the poor and provide a base line which will assist in the assessment of relevant policies. (DÜI-Hff)
