Namibia will soon implement a national water sector support program aimed at improving access, quality, and sustainability of the country's water supply and sanitation services.

Over the next five years, the project is expected to cost N$10 billion.

Agriculture Minister Carl Schlettwein announced the plans during a three-day regional conference on hydrology and water coordination at Swakopmund.

Schlettwein says the project would supply sufficient usable water until 2037.
