NamWater and MTC signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) on Monday aimed at addressing Namibia’s water infrastructure challenges.
Abraham Nehemia, NamWater’s chief executive officer, described the partnership as a transformative step for the country’s water sector.
“By leveraging cutting-edge technology and embarking on initiatives such as smart water metering, digital transformation, and capacity building, we are paving the way for innovative and sustainable solutions,” he said.
He explained that the MoU represents more than just an agreement, calling it a commitment to improving efficiency, reducing water losses, and enhancing service delivery for all Namibians.
Nehemia emphasized that this collaboration sets an example of how partnerships between technology and water utilities can drive meaningful change.
“The country is currently facing challenges with water security and it can no longer be business as usual, hence smart partnership is the way to go, to improve the water challenges in the country,” he said
MTC’s chief technical and information officer, Monica Nehemia, applauded the initiative and highlighted the importance of digital transformation in achieving operational excellence.
“It is highly commendable that many entities are adopting a digital flare of conducting business, for it is through such that remaining relevance, achieving competency and excellence is achieved as we strive to give value to the people,” she said.
Monica added that MTC is committed to creating meaningful collaborations with both public and private institutions in Namibia, assisting them in integrating digitalisation into their operations.
Nawa Likando, MTC’s digitalization manager, noted that digital transformation not only enhances technological advancements but also addresses broader issues by offering affordable and reliable services.
“MTC remains committed to leveraging upcoming technologies and partnering with various industry role players to equip institutions with the much-needed technology,” Likando said.
