AGP Executive Report

Last update: 20 minutes ago

Botswana Economy & Policy: The AfDB warns Botswana’s diamond-heavy model is weakening, citing falling mineral revenues, a widening fiscal deficit and rising public debt, and urges faster diversification and stronger domestic revenue. Labour Reform: Botswana’s new Employment and Labour Relations Act takes effect 1 September, with unions and business groups both saying the country isn’t ready to implement it smoothly amid high unemployment. Migration Pressure: Government links rising outward migration—especially to Europe—to economic strain, unemployment and better healthcare abroad, while police warn job seekers are being targeted for trafficking and exploitation. Digital Housing: Botswana Housing Corporation and BTC sign an MoU to bring fibre and smart-home tech into BHC estates. Business & Investment: BoFiNet completes a BWP 43m fibre rollout to three villages, creating local jobs and connecting homes, businesses and offices. Health & Society: UNAIDS highlights Botswana among countries hitting the 95-95-95 HIV targets, stressing partnerships with communities and health systems. Culture & Events: Maitisong Festival returns 21–23 August, and the BOMU Awards come back on 29 August with a sharper focus on AI-era music.
