Otuani is a settlement in the Kunene region of Namibia, situated 70 kilometres (43 mi) southwest of the regional capital Opuwo.[1] Since the creation of the Opuwo Rural constituency in August 2013, Otuani is its administrative centre,[2] although it is located far away from major roads.[3] The constituency office is expected to be completed in March 2017.
Otuani features a small clinic that was completed in 2011 but remained closed for a number of years due to lack of water.[4] The Otuani Copper Mine is situated 4 kilometres (2.5 mi) outside the village.[5]
