Local authorities across Namibia encounter challenges that are similar in terms of socio-economic, political and technological challenges. This prompted the Tses Village Council to sign a cooperative agreement with the Lüderitz Town Council on service delivery, infrastructure development and management practices. The agreement is for a period of five years and may be renewed every five years. The two local authorities signed the agreement last week at Lüderitz. Standing from left are Councillor Calvin Mwiya, Tses Village Council Chief Executive Officer, Ivan Vries , Lüderitz Town Council Chief Executive Officer, Aunie Gideon, Lüderitz’ Strategic Executive for Infrastructure Technical Service, Ignatius Tjipura, and the executive for health water and reticulation service, Nico de Wee. Seated from left are Councillor David Vries, Councillor Brain Gaoseb and Councillor Silas Hamukuaja.
