Ho, Namibia Explore Partnership In Agriculture, Waste Management

The Ho Municipal Assembly in Ghana and the High Commission of Namibia are exploring a partnership in agriculture, waste management, investment, trade, and local economic development. This cooperation initiative was sparked by the Namibian High Commissioner's visit to the Ho Municipality in the Volta Region. Ho's MCE, Stephen Adom, expressed readiness to establish a mutually beneficial partnership, with a focus on sharing knowledge, expertise, and resources rather than seeking financial assistance.

The municipality, with its agricultural potential, particularly in livestock and value chains, could benefit from Namibia's livestock industry, especially in beef production. Adom also highlighted the municipality's land resources for potential Namibian investors and farmers. Waste management and environmental sanitation were identified as key collaboration areas, with the Assembly committed to maintaining Ho's reputation as the "Oxygen City of Ghana."

The High Commissioner emphasized the importance of transforming waste into an economic resource, proposing stronger business links between Ho and Namibia through trade, investment, and knowledge exchange. The ultimate goal is to move beyond diplomatic agreements to tangible projects that benefit both sides, aligning with broader African cooperation and integration efforts under the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA).
