Africa's population is rapidly growing, with urbanization rates set to increase significantly. Smart housing can accommodate this growth by providing efficient, sustainable, affordable living spaces.

Telecom Namibia and the National Housing Enterprise (NHE) have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to drive Namibia’s smart housing development. The agreement, signed on January 28 will integrate ICT infrastructure and digital services into affordable housing projects.

"This collaboration aligns with our vision of a digitally connected Namibia," said Dr. Stanley Shanapinda, CEO of Telecom Namibia. "Together, we can create innovative solutions that address the nation’s housing challenges."

This partnership combines Telecom Namibia’s expertise in telecommunications and technology with NHE’s experience in housing development, aiming to improve living standards and boost economic growth.

The MoU outlines key areas of cooperation, including joint infrastructure development, smart city innovations, digital services for residents, and procurement opportunities to support local businesses.

The collaboration marks a major step toward sustainable, tech-enabled housing in Namibia, ensuring that future developments are digitally connected, efficient, and aligned with the country’s broader transformation agenda. It aligns with Telecom Namibia’s mission of providing superior solutions and experience to its customers.

NHE CEO, Mr. Gisbertus Mukulu, emphasized the initiative’s impact: “By working closely with Telecom Namibia, we can create smart, connected living spaces that meet the evolving needs of our residents.”
