Africa-Press – Namibia. <\/strong><\/span>PRIME minister Sara Kuugongelwa-Amadhila says 87% of Namibians in the rural areas have access to clean drinking water.<\/p>\n

She was speaking at the ongoing United Nations (UN) 2023 Water Conference in New York on Wednesday.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn our quest to achieve Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) 6 and our national development objectives, Namibia has prioritised and enshrined the water and sanitation sectors into key strategic areas of policy planning,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

She said access to water for all requires bigger investment and coordination among sectors, and different development partners.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere is a strong need for the global water community to engage and share technological expertise to accelerate efforts towards meeting water-related SDGs, beyond the UN 2023 Water Conference,\u201d Kuugongelwa-Amadhila said.<\/p>\n

To ensure that water stays permanently high on the political agenda, we reiterate the call for the appointment of a UN Special Envoy on Water, she said.<\/p>\n

Kuugongelwa-Amadhila said there is a need to adapt the UN Water Structure to become a member state driven structure, making it more responsive to present-day realities and better suited for posterity.<\/p>\n

\u201cFor this reason, my delegation strongly believes the appointment of a UN Special Envoy on Water would go a long way towards improving coordination among various agencies and bodies currently dealing with the issue of water and help turn it from an internal body to a membership based body,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n
