Ghana Delegation Visits Water Institute to Explore Adoption of Tanzanian Water Management Technology
Published on: 15th September, 2026
The Water Institute (WI), Tanzania, has welcomed a high-level delegation from Ghana Water Limited and the Ghana Water Institute for a technical visit aimed at learning and exploring the potential adoption of the Integrated Leakage Management System (ILMS), an innovative water management technology developed by the Water Institute.
The visit marks an important milestone in WI’s efforts to promote locally developed technologies and strengthen knowledge and technology transfer within Africa.
ILMS is designed to support water supply utilities in monitoring, managing and reducing water losses while improving operational efficiency. Through technology and data-driven management, the system enables utilities to strengthen water-loss control and address challenges associated with Non-Revenue Water (NRW).
The Ghanaian delegation is led by Hon. Adam Mutawakilu, Managing Director, and includes senior executives, engineers and water-sector professionals from Ghana Water Limited and the Ghana Water Institute.
Welcoming the delegation, Rector of the Water Institute, Prof. Adam O. Karia, described the visit as more than a technical exchange, noting that it demonstrates the growing potential of Tanzanian innovations to contribute to addressing water-sector challenges beyond the country’s borders.
He emphasized that the Water Institute remains committed to developing practical solutions that respond to real challenges facing water utilities while strengthening collaboration and knowledge exchange with institutions across Africa.
Project Lead, Eng. Dr. Ghanima Chanzi, highlighted that the interest from Ghana represents an important recognition of Tanzania’s growing capacity to develop home-grown technologies with potential for wider application across the African water sector.
The visit provides an opportunity for the Ghanaian delegation to gain practical understanding of the technology, its application within water utilities, and its potential contribution to improving water-loss management and operational performance.
The Water Institute views this engagement as an important step towards strengthening South–South cooperation, technology transfer and African-led innovation in the water sector.
