Table 7: Value of damage and losses caused by the 2009 floods disaster in Namibia Sector/ Sub-sector Damage (N$ million) Losses (N$ million) Damage (US$ million) Losses (US$ million) Infrastructure 279.7 32.2 34.3 4.9 Water Supply & Sanitation 47.9 28 5.9 3.4 Transport 223.2 2.9 27.4 0.4 Energy 8.6 1.3 1.1 0.2 Productive 405.1 584.4 49.7 71.7 Agriculture 38.6 120.9 4.7 14.8 Industry 143.5 162 17.6 19.9 Commerce 209.7 289.7 25.7 35.5 Tourism 13.3 11.8 1.6 1.4 Social 416.5 19.5 51.1 2.4 Housing 385.7 13.8 47.3 1.7 Health 0.7 5.7 0.1 0.7 Education 30.1 0 3.7 0.0 Cross-sectoral 10 0.9 1.2 0.1 Environment 10 0.9 1.2 0.1 Total 1,111.30 637.1 136.4 78.2 Source: Estimations by PDNA Team Of note is that most of the destroyed assets (72 per cent) fall within the domain of the private sector, including private individuals and enterprises, and that only a fraction (28 percent) of damage falls within the domain of the public sector. In terms of losses in economic flows, this proportion is even more pronounced: 94 percent of economic losses were sustained by the private sector, and only 6 percent in the public sector. This pattern of ownership of the effects of the floods is of special relevance, since it provides evidence of the proportion of efforts and investments that are to be made by the Government and by the private sectors to overcome the negative impact of the disaster. Figure 9: Ownership of Disaster Damage (Left) and Disaster Losses (Right) Among Public and Private Sectors 28% 5% Public Private 72% 95% Public Private Source: Estimates by PDNA Team The structure of damage among sectors of economic activity in the affected areas is also of special relevance since the social sectors sustained 37.5 percent, the productive sectors sustained 36.5 percent, and infrastructure sustained 25 percent of the total damages. The structure of losses, however, is concentrated heavily in the productive sectors (92 percent), while infrastructure and social sectors account for the remaining 8 percent. This evidences the socio-productive nature of the disaster, rather than the typical case of disaster effects concentrated on infrastructure. 9

However, when considering the impact of the floods on losses to the economy, the decline in production is considered. In this case, losses are concentrated – in order of decreasing magnitude – in the trade sector (N$499.4 million, or 45 percent of total losses), manufacturing (N$162 million, or 25 percent), and in agriculture (N$120.9 million, or 19 percent). The spatial or geographical distribution of damage and losses was by no means uniform. In fact, of the six affected Regions, Omusati sustained the greatest damages, followed by Oshana, and Oshikoto. Oshikoto sustained the highest losses, followed by Omusati and Caprivi (see Table 8).
