Otjozondjupa is one
of the thirteen regions of Namibia. An outstanding landmark
within this region is the Waterberg.
Grootfontein, Otavi,
Otjiwarongo, and Okahandja are linked by rail and by
the main trunk road running from south to north. Communication
systems between these areas are also of a high standard.
The farming activities
of Okahandja and Otjiwarongo are homogenous as these
parts are well known for cattle farming. The Otavi and
Grootfontein districts, and to a lesser extent also
Otjiwarongo, are the granary of Namibia. The region
also has a great potential to establish industries connected
with such farming activities and by-products of it.
It further has the advantage of combining communal and
commercial farming in the same region.
The infrastructure
of the region is such that effective administration
is possible. The state of development in the area, and
the facilities available, form a solid basis for future
development. This region has the potential to be economically
independent.
In the east, Otjozondjupa
borders the North-West District of Botswana. Domestically,
it borders the following regions:
- Omaheke - southeast
- Khomas - south
- Erongo - southwest
- Kunene - northwest
- Oshikoto - north
- Okavango - northeast
- Otjozondjupa borders more regions
than any other region of Namibia.
The region comprises
six constituencies: Grootfontein, Otavi, Okakarara,
Otjiwarongo, Okahandja, and Omatak.
