44. Global Insight // Perspective The Debswana Diamond Company, owned in equal shares by the botswana government andDe Beers Centenary AG, is the world’s leading diamond producer by value http://www.globalinsight.com/Perspective/PerspectiveDetail326.htm

Is the Gem of Africa Losing Its Luster? Middle East and Africa Subscribe to Perspectives our weekly newsletter. by Thea Fourie Botswana has been the glittering diamond and one of the most inspiring success stories on the African continent. Annual real GDP growth exceeded 10% over the first 20 years of the country’s existence following its independence from Great Britain, but this pace eased down to around 5% during the 1990s. Nevertheless, Botswana still enjoyed one of the highest growth rates in the region. The driving force behind the economy’s robust performance has been the mining industry, mostly diamonds, which contributes more than 30% to GDP, accounts for 80% of exports, and generates roughly 50% of government revenue. The Debswana Diamond Company, owned in equal shares by the Botswana government and De Beers Centenary AG, is the world’s leading diamond producer by value and has played a significant role in the Botswana economy. Debswana’s major diamond mining operations are situated at Jwaneng, Letlhakane, and Orapa. In addition, a new mine (Damtshaa), close to the Orapa operation, is likely to reach full production by March 2003. Damtshaa is expected to yield five million carats of diamonds over the 30-year projected lifespan of the mine. Although the commencement of the Damtshaa mine and improved marketing strategies should increase diamond output and thus GDP over the short term, the dominance of the diamond industry in the Botswana economy renders the country vulnerable to global commodity price shocks. Beyond the Damtshaa project, diamond production could reach a plateau unless a significant new deposit is discovered over the medium term, so that this sector would no longer serve as the economy’s growth engine. The Botswana government is well aware of these constraints and has announced the Vision 2016 plan—a government strategy to achieve sustainable development through economic diversification. Vision 2016 aims to boost GDP growth to 8% by means of less diamond dependence over the long term and triple per capita real income by 2016.

Botswana Botswana newspapers sue government over ads ban Find related news and background material in: Botswana News News afrol News, 15 June - The Botswana government is being sued over its decision to ban government advertising from two private newspapers critical of its policies, one of the newspapers reported on Tuesday, 12 June 2001. According to reports by the Integrated Regional Information Network (IRIN), "The Guardian" and the "Midweek Sun" had lodged an urgent application in the High Court to have the bans overturned. IRIN quotes the "Midweek Sun" as saying that the case is to be heard today (Thursday, 14 June 2001) in the town of Lobatse, 70 km north of the capital Gaborone. The two papers have been overtly critical of the government, especially President Festus Mogae and Vice-President Ian Khama. Last month "The Guardian" was leaked an anonymous letter that instructed government departments and allied private companies not to advertise in the two papers. No government minister has taken responsibility for issuing the instruction. However, Molosiwa Selepeng, the permanent secretary to Mogae, confirmed it had been put into effect, but said it was for economic considerations.

European, especially Scotttish, missionaries arrived in the early 1800s, and David Livingstone lived in the country. In the 19th century, hostilities broke out between the Batswana and Boer settlers in the Transvaal. Several decades after appeals by the Batswana for assistance, the British Government in 1885 put "Bechuanaland" under its protection. The northern territory remained under indirect British administration and today is Botswana, but the southern territory became part of the Cape Colony and is now part of the North-West Province of South Africa ; the majority of Setswana-speaking people live across the border in

51. Gender Programme - UNDP Botswana While important steps have already been taken by both the botswana government andnongovernmental organisations to address gender inequalities, women still http://www.unbotswana.org.bw/undp/gender_country.html

Botswana Botswana Gender Profile UNDP in Botswana Gender Programme: Country Profile In 1995 the total population of Botswana was estimated at 1,5 million, of which 51,9% were women and 48,1% men. From this perspective, it is clear that the empowerment and advancement of women in all spheres of life must take center stage in the country's development. A study completed in 1996 by the Government of Botswana revealed that the poorest urban female headed households command an average per capita disposable income that comprises a mere 46% of that earned by the poorest urban male headed households. On the political front, however, Botswana has seen an increase in the percentage of women elected to Parliament, from 10% to 18% in 1999. Representation in Cabinet also rose from 16 to 25% after the 1999 elections. The advancement of women in Botswana was first led by NGOs which - since independence, and particularly after the 1985 Nairobi World Conference on Women - have developed programmes and provided services in the diverse areas of education, skills training, economic empowerment through income generation, political empowerment, women's legal rights and violence against women. While important steps have already been taken by both the Botswana government and non-governmental organisations to address gender inequalities, women still face constraints arising from gender stereotyping, attitudes, and perceptions that limit their opportunities at the personal, household and societal levels.

NEWS PROJECTS EDUCATION GET INVOLVED ... EXTRAS Born Free’s Campaigns Manager Alison Hood responds to the news in last weeks Guardian that the Botswana Government are coming under pressure from the members of Safari Club International – including the well connected George Bush Snr, Norman Schwarzkopf and Dan Quayle - to lift their ban on the hunting of lions in Botswana. Lions face new threat from hunters As the Botswana Government bravely sticks to its guns over the lion hunting ban, Safari Club International, and its prominent supporters such as George Bush senior, will hopefully have to lower theirs. The introduction of the hunting ban in February was based on sound scientific data not emotion. There are genuine concerns over the future of lion numbers – and the growing imbalance in the male/female ratio. Killing a ‘trophy’ male does not just necessarily reduce the population by ‘one’ – the repercussions on prides and the rapid turnover of males as a result can have negative effects on reproduction, increasing the impact tenfold. Born Free Foundation supports the research work of Pieter Kat and Kate Nicholls, both working on the Okavango Lion Conservation Project. Their work, along with other researchers and conservationists is vital.

Once mining operations in the open pit reach their maximum economic depth, Orapa will become an underground mining operation working through twin vertical shafts to get at the bottom sections of the kimberlite. Orapa has completed an expansion to its open pit, hoping to double production to 12 Mct/year. Through this process, the mine's labour requirements will rise by less than 10% while its overhead costs should increase by only 20%. The mine life will be reduced from 60 years to 30 years. Orapa increased production 1999, mainly as a result of an increase of grade experienced at the mine (from an average of 75 cpht in 1998 to 95 ctpht in 1999) as well as improved treatment and recovery efficiencies. On the other hand, Jwaneng experienced a decrease in average grade (125.8 ctpht in 1999 from 136.9 ctpht in 1998).

UK education and training marketing missions to Botswana Sources of information Services to missions through the Information Centre Introduction School terms University semesters The promotion of education and training in UK universities and colleges is central to the British Council's operations in Botswana. This is the leading market in the Southern African region because of the Government of Botswana's huge investment in education and training. The Ministry of Education is the largest ministry in government, with the largest operational budget of the total country budget in 2002/2003. There are hundreds of Batswana students currently studying in universities and colleges in the UK, on specialised short courses, HNDs, first degree programmes and at postgraduate level. Over the past three years a good number of UK Universities and Colleges have given successful presentations in Botswana with basic support from The British Council. However, this directorate is very small in terms of staffing, physical infrastructure and budgetary resources. We do not have rooms for interviews or group briefings. The directorate does not receive funding from the ECS and is not a member of that scheme. We are therefore obliged to charge fees for services which cover not just the staff time involved, but also overheads. We also have to limit the time input of staff in order not to disrupt our other activities. We hope that missions will understand these constraints.

This is the final chapter in a 17-year saga which has seen the relocation of some 2,200 San out of the Central Kalahari Game Reserve (CKGR) into resettlement camps by the Botswana Government. Water tanks have been removed from the six settlements of Kalahari San that remain inside the 52000 km² reserve - about the size of Togo or Denmark. The water pump at the Mothomelo borehole has been dismantled. The special game permits which enabled the San, the last remaining hunter-gatherers in Africa, to hunt a limited quota of wild animals, and gather veldt foods and fruits have been withdrawn. Now fewer than 30 of the Kalahari San remain.
