Swakop seeks smart partners
The Swakopmund municipality on Thursday signed agreements with the Opuwo, Oranjemund and Rehoboth town councils.
The agreements will assist parties to share knowledge, expertise and resources to improve tourism, environmental and health management, town planning, waste management, and community development strategies.
The mayors, management committee chairpersons and chief executive officers of these towns signed the agreements during the Swakopmund council's ordinary meeting.
Swakopmund deputy mayor Maria Elago said over the years the council had demonstrated good governance and progress in terms of development, hence the interest from other towns to work closely with it.
The acting CEO of Swakopmund, Marco Swartz, told Nampa that there was no specific duration of the cooperation.
“We tackle one problem, for instance, help them with archiving until we solve it, then we move to the next one until they are happy,” he said.
Swakopmund has a similar agreement with the Otavi town council, while Opuwo has one with the City of Windhoek.
Windhoek and Opuwo aim to address developmental issues such as waste management, local economic development and tourism promotion, youth development, town planning, property and land management.
