Africa-Press – Namibia. <\/strong><\/span>The Namibia Oil and Gas Conference will be held in Windhoek from 16-17 August 2023. The conference is endorsed by the Ministry of Mines and Energy and is expected to attract over 700 delegates.<\/p>\n

The conference will bring together key role players in Namibia and the international oil and gas value chain to exchange views on the potential opportunities and challenges in establishing the oil and gas sector in Namibia. The programme will explore the issues around investment opportunities, financing, value chains, and infrastructure, identify the required skills, employment creation as well as economic participation of local communities.<\/p>\n

In a recent letter, the Honourable Minister of Mines and Energy, Tom Alweendo, stated that the Ministry is \u201cat your service\u201d in terms of its participation at the conference. The Minister also expressed the Ministry\u2019s support for the conference, which he said \u201cholds great promise for fostering dialogue and collaboration among key stakeholders in Namibia and the international oil and gas value chain.\u201d<\/p>\n

Jason Kasuto, Chairperson of the Economic Association of Namibia (EAN), which is one of the hosts of the conference, said that a core focus of the conference will be to \u201cpropose ideas and strategies that will ensure that investments in the sector do not create an enclave around oil and gas production sites, but lead to the development of an integrated industrial base with backward and forward linkages to the rest of the economy.\u201d This, he said, will \u201ccreate sustainable jobs and contribute to the social welfare of Namibia\u2019s people.\u201d<\/p>\n

Shiwana Ndeunyema, Acting Managing Director of the Namibian Petroleum Corporation (NAMCOR), one of the strategic partners of the conference, said that NAMCOR \u201cendorses this conference and calls for local and international stakeholder support in every manner possible.\u201d<\/p>\n
