Geo Pomona Waste Management, a Zimbabwean waste management company dedicated to developing sustainable solutions that minimise negative environmental impact, has vowed to assist Namibia in the fight against climate change.

Geo Pomona chief executive officer Dilesh Nguwaya told NBC News in an interview after touring Francistown City Council Sanitary Landfill recently that his organisation has since made a proposal to the government to deal with waste management.

Dr. Nguwaya, who is also President Emmerson Dambudzo Mnangagwa's Special Advisor on Waste Management and Environmental Sustainability, said his organisation utilises innovative technologies and best practices from local and international experts to create a healthier and safer environment for communities.

Given the opportunity to form a partnership with the Namibian government, Dr Nguwaya said Geo Pomona will draw on best practices to ensure that its waste management solutions are effective, sustainable and innovative.

“We have already engaged with the Namibian government, and other countries are coming to Zimbabwe to learn about the technology we have developed. This demonstrates Geo Pomona’s role in advancing waste management practices in the region and across the continent. Landfills are a challenge in many countries, and there is a need for properly engineered landfills. These can help reduce environmental pollution and greenhouse gas emissions, which contribute to climate change. What we are offering Namibia is an opportunity to learn from our experience and adopt effective waste management practices, including the development of properly engineered landfills.”

In August this year, Kavango East region Governor Hamunyera Hambyuka and Namibian Ambassador to Zimbabwe David Asheelo Thomas toured the Geo Pomona Waste Management facility in Harare, Zimbabwe.
