🇯🇴 Amman
Amman Smart Water Metering (Miyahuna/Itron NRW Reduction)
Same problem, different capacity: Yaounde's 2020 pilot stalled at 3,000 meters; Amman's Itron rollout already covers 76,000+.
🇰🇪 Nairobi
Water ATMs: Prepaid Dispensers in Nairobi's Informal Settlements
Cameroon's Camwater is chasing the same prepaid-water fix, still stuck in a 3,000-meter pilot years after Nairobi's rollout began.
🇳🇦 Windhoek
Prepaid Water Metering, Token by Token
Two African prepaid-water plans: Windhoek's offline tokens have run since 2021; Yaounde is only now tendering a connected version.
