Regional Offices
In an effort to make the services of the Ombudsman accessible to all Namibians, the Ombudsman has five fully - functional regional offices. We recognise the fact that most persons who make use of our services hail from previously disadvantaged backgrounds, and as such are unable to access us through email or telephones. Having offices strategically placed in all corners of the country helps us to reach those who would otherwise not be able to do so. We have Offices in Katima Mulilo, Keetmanshoop, Ongwediva, Swakopmund, and Otjiwarongo. Complainants are encouraged to express themselves in their mother tongue as we have a diverse staff complement across our regional offices.
