Namibia – Financing Water Projects

Jul 18, 2019 | Namibia, Roundtable, Water

Financing Water Projects

Namibia’s Ministry of Agriculture, Water & Forestry (MAWF) is allocating 25% (N$ 494.8 million) of its annual budget in 2019/20 to develop water infrastructure and potable water provision.

 

The event is designed to focus on the building and maintaining of ‘best-in-class’ water assets across Namibia. The roundtable will provide the MAWF with a specialist industry platform to illustrate how the national water sector will be developed over the next 5-10 years.

 

The roundtable will cover the full range of issues connected with the preparation and delivery of water related infrastructure (in Namibia and the wider region). The event will draw on proven regional strategies that effectively facilitate the integration of public sector resources and private sector finances (to develop water infrastructure and build resilience through better water management).

 

A key focus of the event will be on the appropriate financing mechanisms (in particular PPPs) to procure & develop major water projects and services. And how such mechanisms could successfully be applied (given Namibia’s current market needs & requirements).

 

Key areas to be addressed include:
    • Managing fragile water systems
    • Sustainable water management (best practice case studies)
    • Opportunities for bulk water PPPs
    • Outlining investor-appetite to fund projects in the water sector
    • Regulatory mechanisms to accelerate private sector investment
