The Communications Regulatory Authority of Namibia (CRAN) undertook initiatives aimed at enhancing telecommunications compliance and promoting online safety for the youth from in the !Karas Region in February.
CRAN also conducted a series of training engagement sessions with Customs and Excise officials from the Namibia Revenue Agency (NamRA) at key border entry points, including Lüderitz, Oranjemund, Noordoewer, Ariamsvlei, and Keetmanshoop.
Led by Mrs. Loide Nuutushi, the Officer for Equipment Approval, these training sessions focused on the regulations concerning telecommunications equipment requiring Type Approval.
The training sessions emphasised on the critical role of Type Approval in ensuring the safety, interoperability, and reliability of telecommunications equipment.
By equipping NamRA officials with essential knowledge and tools, CRAN aims to streamline the approval process for telecommunications equipment, thus facilitating smoother operations and better service delivery across the nation.
“Through these engagement sessions, we aim to build a stronger partnership with NamRA. This collaboration is vital in promoting regulatory compliance that ultimately benefits the Namibian public by ensuring access to quality and compliant telecommunications services,” stated Mrs. Nuutushi.
Participants were encouraged to share insights and address challenges, further enhancing the understanding of the regulatory framework.
In a statement CRAN said that as Namibia advances its telecommunications infrastructure, such initiatives are crucial for effective regulation and oversight.
These sessions reflect CRAN’s dedication to collaboration and regulatory excellence, contributing to a more connected and technologically adept Namibia.
