		The current project to identify and monitor elephants in the Kunene and Omusati regions of Namibia is an extension of the MET policy related to the consumptive utilisation of resources, and ongoing CBNRM initiatives.
		The total of GPS monitored elephants in the Kunene and Omusati Region is now ten individuals, though difficulties have now been experienced with three of the collars: two had ceased to function by June 2006, while the other collar gives off only a sporadic signal.
		Studies have commenced in the Omusati, but due to the nature of the environment and the nervousness of the elephant herds' identification and monitoring of the elephant herds has been difficult, with few positive identifications being made.

		Ogongo Agricultural College, located in Omusati region, in northern Namibia, was first opened in February 1973 to serve the needs of the then Administration of Owambos to train its young population in agriculture.
		Omusati, one of the four regions that make up the area of former Owamboland, is inhabited by 13 percent of the country's population.
		Because of population growth and human settlement, the region's natural resources are under severe pressure, resulting in land degradation, in particular deforestation, overgrazing and declining fertile arable land.

	Namibia: Suicide And HIV - Communities Need to Be Involved (HIV/AIDS News)
		It becomes even more complex when it is said most of the people who saw it fit to end their lives left suicide notes giving HIV and Aids as the reason why they had decided to die.
		While suicide statistics for other regions in Namibia are not available, the situation in Omusati is a possible indicator of what it is like in other areas where HIV/AIDS patients choose suicide when their pain exceeds their resources for coping with the situation.
		Omusati is considered one of Namibia's developed areas and as is the case, development elsewhere brings individualism and isolation.

	News: Southern Africa Humanitarian Crisis, Namibia: Food security improves
		The latest Food Security Bulletin produced by the Early Warning and Food Information Unit of the Ministry of Agriculture, Water and Forestry says due to the substantial rainfall experienced during the past crop season, crop production forecast at the end of May 2006 indicates an improvement in the harvest.
		It also indicates that the household food sufficiency, an indication of a number of months the harvest will sustain an average household in each region, only exists in two regions, namely Omusati and Oshikoto.
		The analysis of the early warning unit says that while the cereal harvests in Caprivi, Ohangwena and Oshana regions will sustain the households halfway, Kavango is of great concern because the cereal harvest may only last five months from July to November this year.
