Kavango West is one of the fourteen regions of Namibia. Its capital is Nkurenkuru. The Region was created in 2013 when the Kavango Region was split into Kavango East and Kavango West.


In the north, Kavango West borders the Cuando Cubango Province of Angola. Domestically, it borders the following regions:




  • Kavango East – east


  • Otjozondjupa – south


  • Oshikoto – west


  • Ohangwena – northwest


Because of its rather higher rainfall than most other parts of Namibia, this region has agricultural potential for the cultivation of a variety of crops, as well as for organised forestry and agro-forestry, which stimulates furniture making and related industries.



Politics


The region is subdivided into eight electoral constituencies:[2][3]



  • Kapako

  • Mankumpi

  • Mpungu

  • Musese

  • Ncamangoro

  • Ncuncuni

  • Nkurenkuru

  • Tondoro


The Fourth Delimitation Commission of Namibia, responsible for recommending on the country's administrative divisions suggested in August 2013 to split the Kavango Region into two. The president Hifikepunye Pohamba enacted the recommendations. As a result, the new Regions of Kavango East and Kavango West have been created.[3]


The first Governor of Kavango West was Samuel Mbambo, former Governor of Kavango Region and sitting Governor of Kavango East.[2] On 27 April 2014 Sirkka Ausiku, formerly Permanent Secretary of the Ministry of Regional and Local Government, Housing and Rural Development, was appointed.[4] He kept his position in 2015 in president Hage Geingob's new government.[1]


In the 2015 regional elections Swapo won in all eight constituencies.[5]



Population


The region is characterised by an extremely uneven population distribution. The interior is very sparsely inhabited, while the northernmost strip, especially along the Kavango River, has a high population concentration.
