Download File IN-DEPTH ANALYSES OF BUSINESS OPPORTUNITIES BY LEA REGIONS – PHASE IV MASUNGA LEA REGION REPORT Submitted to: Director, Research and Development Division Submitted by: Research and Development Division Date of Submission: 31 March 2014 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Objectives The overall objective of the study was to provide an in-depth analysis of the identified opportunities in Masunga LEA region. Study Findings Introduction Masunga LEA region includes North East District, Tutume Sub district and Sowa Town. Among these three areas there are four business opportunities that were identified for LEA consideration as priority areas for business promotion and these include; Brick and Block Moulding, Grain milling, Truck Inn Stations and Tourism sites and Associated businesses in general with more emphasis in tourism diversification beyond wildlife tourism. These opportunities were identified under a predetermined criterion characterised by the following variables: raw material availability, land availability, water availability, Legislation and programme support, technical support, skills availability, physical environment, financial support and market availability. Brick and Block moulding opportunity Brick and block moulding opportunity has the advantage of the region being predominantly characterised by seasonal rivers which provide both sand and water as the major inputs into manufacturing bricks and blocks. These rivers include Page ii of 10 Nata River, Tutume River, Tati River, Shashe River, Ramokgwebana River, Mosetse River, Nkange River, Maitengwe River and Semoane River. The availability of cement from a nearby cement manufacturer in Matsiloje and Francistown hardware stores strengthens this opportunity as cement is one of the major raw materials for masonry products. A major challenge in this opportunity is difficulties in acquisition of sand mining rights especially the prerequisite EIA requirements that has not been easy to comply with by sand miners. Grain milling opportunity Grain milling has the advantage of the region being traditionally a crop production area with more emphasis on Sorghum and Pearl millet being the two staple crops in the region, and also dominating the grain milling industry. This therefore makes grain supply and market availability very receptive to this opportunity. The proximity of the Pandamatenga agro-farms as the major grain producers makes grain supply more achievable. Legislative provisions that also allow grain importation when there is shortage locally is an added advantage to this opportunity. A challenge associated with this opportunity is grain supply especially during low harvest and drought years. Truck Inn opportunity It should be realised that the transport industry in Botswana has grown over the years and continues to grow. This is even propelled by the reality that Botswana serves as a transit route to the rest of Africa through the A1, A2, and A3 road networks. This inevitably calls for service businesses to be established that will Page iii of 10 serve the road transport industry. The Masunga LEA region has vehemently realised the need to establish Truck Inn stations both for profit and for environmental protection. Such need has been answered by allocating and reserving land in the Nata village for erection of truck inns. Recent developments in the A3 route such as the Salt mining in Sowa Town and the future development of the Kazungula Bridge even increases the potential of this opportunity to flourish. The challenge that has been attributed to none development of the currently allocated truck inn plots is lack of funds. Tourism Sites and Associated Businesses opportunity The tourism diversification drive in the region includes agro-tourism, surface water (dam) tourism, cultural tourism, sports tourism and heritage tourism. This will benefit individual enterprises and Community Based Resources Management (CBRMs) projects. As these sites are developed they will attract associated businesses such as lodges, guest houses and services needed in these accommodation facilities. Lack of knowledge by local communities on the potential business opportunities attached to various tourism sites in their vicinity is a major challenge to none development of those sites and their associated service business entities. Conclusions All the four identified business opportunities in the Masunga LEA region were found to be supported by the RDD opportunity identification criterion which includes; raw material availability, land availability, water availability, Legislation and programme support, technical support, skills availability, physical environment, Page iv of 10 financial support and market availability. These opportunities are therefore worth investing appropriate interventions in their further exploration. Recommendations The brick and block moulding business opportunity should be further explored by LEA in the quest to promote it in light of the availability of raw materials and inputs locally through relevant interventions that can improve efficiency and competitiveness of small scale producers. LEA in collaboration with the Ministry of Minerals, Energy and Water Resources (MMEWR) should facilitate alleviation of SMMEs the burden of EIA requirements for acquiring sand mining rights. LEA should include promotion of grain milling under its new portfolio of business areas to widen the economic diversification horizon beyond primary agricultural production into agro-processing. A collaborative engagement with the MoA by LEA should give LEA a clear insight into interventions that are of immediate need in the cereal grain processing industry. LEA should make a further assessment of major impediments underlying the non-development of the fourteen truck inn plots allocated in Nata with a view to facilitate their development. LEA in collaboration with the Ministry of Environment, Wildlife and Tourism (MEWT), Ministry of Lands and Housing (MLH) should solicit a way through which Truck Inn stations are constructed in all national highways in Botswana. Page v of 10 In developing the truck inn businesses, LEA should first benchmark with countries that already have this type of businesses to acquire more knowledge on laws governing their operations. LEA should open up its portfolio of business areas to include the tourism sector because there are tourism sites in the Masunga region which SMMEs can invest in both as individual enterprises and as CBRMs. LEA should collaboratively engage with Botswana Tourism Organisation (BTO) to ensure that SMMEs get maximum benefits in the development of new tourism sites by investing in associated businesses such as accommodation, recreational facilities and provision of services to other businesses in the sector.

  • Social and Economic Stress Related to the HIV/AIDS Epidemic in Botswana Thabo T
    Social and Economic Stress Related to the HIV/AIDS Epidemic in Botswana Thabo T. Fako, Ph.D. Department of Sociology University of Botswana J. Gary Linn, Ph.D. School of Nursing Center for Health Research Tennessee State University Dolly Ntseane Department of Sociology University of Botswana Lorna Kendrick, RN, Ph.D. School of Nursing Tennessee State University Abstract: The paper describes the consequences of HIV/AIDS in Botswana; the country with the highest HIV prevalence rate in Africa. In addition to frequently experienced trauma due to sickness and death, many households experience rising health expenditures and a sharp deterioration of incomes. High levels of morbidity and mortality among workers result in depressed returns on investment, reduced productivity and increased expenditure on training and replacement of workers. As the health care system finds it increasingly difficult to cope, home-based care provides an inadequate solution since the home infrastructure of many households is inadequate for proper care of seriously ill patients. The stigma associated with AIDS often isolates fragile households and provides an environment in which abuse of infected individuals and of orphans whose parents have died of AIDS is not uncommon. The quality of education also suffers, resulting in an ill prepared skilled manpower, with adverse consequences for social, economic, and political development as well as for good future governance of the country. Key Words: Botswana, AIDS, stress Introduction HIV has spread very quickly throughout Botswana since the first reported AIDS case in 1985, resulting in the country having the highest prevalence rate in Africa. The epidemic has been attributed to multiple causes, including an economic structure that has promoted long-term separation of husbands and wives, insufficient attention to AIDS prevention education in the late 1980s, and a good network of highways that facilitates travel and internal migration and rapid spread of HIV (United Nations Development Program 2000).

  • 2011 Population & Housing Census Preliminary Results Brief
    2011 Population & Housing Census Preliminary Results Brief For further details contact Census Office, Private Bag 0024 Gaborone: Tel 3188500; Fax 3188610 1. Botswana Population at 2 Million Botswana’s population has reached the 2 million mark. Preliminary results show that there were 2 038 228 persons enumerated in Botswana during the 2011 Population and Housing Census, compared with 1 680 863 enumerated in 2001. Suffice to note that this is the de-facto population – persons enumerated where they were found during enumeration. 2. General Comments on the Results 2.1 Population Growth The annual population growth rate 1 between 2001 and 2011 is 1.9 percent. This gives further evidence to the effect that Botswana’s population continues to increase at diminishing growth rates. Suffice to note that inter-census annual population growth rates for decennial censuses held from 1971 to 2001 were 4.6, 3.5 and 2.4 percent respectively. A close analysis of the results shows that it has taken 28 years for Botswana’s population to increase by one million. At the current rate and furthermore, with the current conditions 2 prevailing, it would take 23 years for the population to increase by another million - to reach 3 million. Marked differences are visible in district population annual growths, with estimated zero 3 growth for Selebi-Phikwe and Lobatse and a rate of over 4 percent per annum for South East District. Most district growth rates hover around 2 percent per annum. High growth rates in Kweneng and South East Districts have been observed, due largely to very high growth rates of villages within the proximity of Gaborone.
