Namibian Ports Authority (Namport) chief executive officer Andrew Kanime hosted Oshikoto governor Sakarias Kathindi and his delegation for a strategic familiarisation visit last Wednesday.
The visit aimed to strengthen regional cooperation and give the governor a clearer understanding of Namport’s operations and its role in driving Namibia’s economic development.
Discussions focused on potential areas of collaboration in corporate social investment (CSI) to support sustainable projects within the Oshikoto region.
The engagement formed part of Kathindi’s broader outreach programme, during which he has been meeting various corporate entities to mobilise support for the region’s key challenges, including a severe water crisis and limited healthcare resources.
Kathindi said he is committed to finding long-term solutions by engaging partners and securing funding to improve living conditions in Oshikoto.
Kanime reaffirmed Namport’s commitment to inclusive national development.
“At Namport, we believe that meaningful partnerships with regional leadership are essential to driving inclusive national growth,” Kanime said.
“This engagement with the governor of the Oshikoto region reaffirms our commitment to ensuring that the benefits of our ports extend beyond coastal operations, reaching communities and regions across Namibia through impactful collaboration and shared development priorities.”
Namport said it remains dedicated to building partnerships that support community empowerment, regional development, and shared national prosperity.
