For too long, Malawi has relied on external solutions for technical, mechanical, and ICT challenges. However, MUBAS offers an opportunity to leverage local ingenuity, technology, and innovation. MUBAS presented several platforms for collaboration, including: 1. Prepaid meter solutions, addressing battery challenges and manufacturing prepaid units and battery power supply attachments. 2. Leakage control and non-revenue water management through an interactive mobile application featuring: 1. Leakage alerts 2. Geolocation-based data analysis 3. Monitoring dashboard 4. Integration with machine learning and artificial intelligence for diagnostic intelligence BWB is excited about this partnership, which aligns with the Malawi 2063 agenda. Next steps include developing a catalog of needs to be shared with MUBAS, paving the way for a collaborative model that could redefine how Malawian public sectors work together to drive national development.
