Bala/ Icld Municipal Partnerships Programme Ghanzi District Council is faced with a mammoth task of developing its communities as poverty is widespread in the whole District. This therefore means a lot of resources need to be inclined towards the community or efforts that will later have trickling down benefits to the community. Therefore a partnership with the Swedish Municipalities is a great opportunity to realize our people centered efforts. Ghanzi District is located in the Western Region of the country. The Western region itself is located in the south and west of Botswana from 21°S to 27°S and 20°E to 25°E, and covers an area of approximately 221,579 km². The region is bordered by Ngamiland District in the north, Central District in the east, Kweneng and Southern Districts in the southeast, Namibia in the west and South Africa in the South. This Western region is composed of Ghanzi and Kgalagadi Districts The District has only one Sub District; Charleshill, and it stretches from Chobokwane to Metsimantsho, covering Chobokwane, Tsootsha, Karakubis, New Xanagas, Charleshill, Makunda, Kole, Ncojane and Metsimantsho DEMOGRAPHICS Estimated population of Ghanzi District according to the 2001 population census is 32 481. The population is twisted towards males with 16 564 males and 15 917 females. COUNCIL VISION To provide people centred infrastructure, integrated social services and economic empowerment programs for improved quality of life. COUNCIL MISSION To be a lead Council in the provision of basic infrastructure and social services for improved quality of life of the community. MANDATE Gantsi District Council is mandated to provide infrastructure, social services and economic development through planned programmes and projects. Council’s responsibility therefore includes public health, primary education, water services, roads, programmes designed for Remote Area Dwellers (RADS), destitute programs etc. Ghanzi District is situated en-route of the Trans-Kalahari road, 700km from capital city Gaborone squeezed between Kgalagadi District and the North West District. It is a gateway to tourism centres like North West and the Chobe regions. Ghanzi District is home to the Central Kalahari Game Reserve as one of the largest game reserve in Botswana endowed with assorted wildlife and plant species. Predators like lion, hyena, spotted wild dogs are residents of this magnificent eco system.

In this stats brief, the reference point of the population projections was the 2011 Population and Housing Census, in which the total population by age and sex is available. Population projections give a picture of what the future size and structure of the population by sex and age might look like. It is based on knowledge of the past trends, and, for the future, on assumptions made for three components of population change being fertility, mortality and migration. The projections are derived from mathematical formulas that use current populations and rates of growth to estimate future populations. The population projections presented is for Cities, Towns and Villages excluding associated localities for the year 2020. Generally, population projections are more accurate for large populations than for small populations and are more accurate for the near future than the distant future.

Box 18 Gaborone Botswana Tel.: +267-3952441 Fax: +267-3930821 Mail: [email protected] Preface In the year 2000 the Institute for Democracy and Electoral Assistance, IDEA, based in Sweden and in partnership with the African Union of Local Authorities, AULA organized a workshop for African mayors in Pretoria. Main subject was to identify the problems they are facing as leaders the local level. On the basis of this, IDEA developed a methodology for mapping local democracy, which was presented at a workshop in Cape Town in 2001. Five Cities throughout Africa were selected for a pilot phase to implement this methodology. Gaborone was one of them and the Botswana Association of Local Authorities, BALA was given the mandate to organize this effort. BALA then approached its long time cooperation partner, the Friedrich Ebert Foundation (FES), asking for assistance. Since the Friedrich Ebert Foundation has a long and serious commitment to strengthen democracy on the local level, this request was answered positively. BALA and FES subsequently brought Dr. Zibani Maundeni, the Coordinator of the Democracy Research Project from the University of Botswana on board as the academic mastermind and facilitator for the activities to be undertaken.

  • An Equitable Framework for Antiretroviral Therapy and COVID-19 Vaccine Allocation Strategies in Botswana
    Anz Equitablez Frameworkz forz Antiretroviralz Therapyz andz COVID-19z Vaccinez Allocationz Strategiesz inz Botswanaz Yhesaem Park Thesis submitted to the Faculty of Science in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science Mathematics and Statistics1> Department of Mathematics and Statistics Faculty of Science University of Ottawa © Yhesaem Park, Ottawa, Canada, 2021 1Thez M.Sc.z programz isz az jointz programz withz Carletonz University,z administeredz byz thez Ottawa- Carletonz Institutez ofz Mathematicsz andz Statisticsz Abstractz The HIV/AIDS epidemic and the COVID-19 pandemic have ruined many people’s lives. Antiretroviral therapy (ART) has controlled the HIV/AIDS epidemic and COVID-19 vaccine is expected to ease confusion caused by the pandemic. However, the supply of health-resource falls far short of the demand in resource-constrained countries; thus, decision-making about resource allocation should be discussed. Botswana, as a resource-constrained country with a high prevalence of HIV, needs to construct its own framework for ART allocation. We propose an equitable framework for ART and COVID-19 vaccine allocation in Botswana based upon the egalitarian principle, which provides each individual has an equal chance of receiving them. We use a spa- tial mathematical model of treatment accessibility with an equity objective function, and sequential quadratic programming is used to address the nonlinear programming model. Considering Botswana's current health infrastructure, our strategy brings the most equal health outcomes. However, the disparity of accessibility still exists be- tween rural and urban areas even from our equitable strategy. We present proposals that can increase the accessibility of rural areas using sensitivity analysis.
