  • OSAC Country Security Report Botswana
    OSAC Country Security Report Botswana Last Updated: July 28, 2021 Travel Advisory The current U.S. Department of State Travel Advisory at the date of this report’s publication assesses Botswana at Level 4, indicating that travelers should not travel to Botswana due to COVID-19. Review OSAC’s report, Understanding the Consular Travel Advisory System. The Institute for Economics & Peace Global Peace Index 2021 ranks Botswana 41 out of 163 worldwide, rating the country as being at a High state of peace. Crime Environment The U.S. Department of State has assessed Gaborone as being a HIGH-threat location for crime directed at or affecting official U.S. government interests. The U.S. Department of State has not included a Crime “C” Indicator on the Travel Advisory for Botswana. Review the State Department’s Crime Victims Assistance brochure. Crime: General Threat Criminal incidents, particularly crimes of opportunity (e.g., purse snatchings, smash-and-grabs from parked cars and in traffic, residential burglaries), can occur regardless of location. Theft of mobile phones, laptop computers, and other mobile devices are common. Criminals can be confrontational. Criminals often arm themselves with knives or blunt objects (e.g., tools, shovels, bats). Botswana has strict gun-control laws, but criminals reportedly smuggle firearms from neighboring countries where weapons are inexpensive and readily available. A public awareness campaign highlights this issue and requests the public report illegal firearms to the police. Reporting indicates instances of non-violent residential burglaries and violent home invasions. Incidents affect local residents, expatriates, and visitors alike. Robberies and burglaries tend to spike during the holiday seasons.

    HIV/AIDS Behavioural Surveillance Survey (BSS) Dukwi Refugee Camp, Botswana May 2013 UNHCR & Botswana Ministry of Health 1 Acknowledgements The 2012 Botswana Behavioural Surveillance Survey (BSS) was a joint effort of UNHCR and the Botswana Ministry of Health, with funding from UNAIDS and WHO, and the support of Botswana Red Cross Society. The BSS was initiated and coordinated by Ms. Marian Schilperoord of UNHCR Geneva, and Dr. Njogu Patterson of UNHCR Pretoria, whose depth of experience overseeing similar surveys was incredibly valuable. Dr. Emmanuel Baingana of UNAIDS and Dr. Eugene Nyarko of WHO lent invaluable advice and support during critical phases of the project, and we are exceptionally grateful. The investigation team was led by the Principal Investigator Ms. Aimee Rose who managed the adaptation of the protocol and tools, field work, analysis and reporting. Dr. Marina Anderson, Co‐ Principal Investigator from the Ministry of Health, provided excellent technical oversight and coordination with the Ministry of Health. Three Investigators from the Ministry of Health, Ms. Lumba Nchunga, Ms. Betty Orapeleng and Ms. Bene Ntwayagae, provided input in each phase of the survey, from protocol development, pre‐planning missions to Dukwi Camp, monitoring of training and field work, and report compilation. The team benefitted from the dedicated support of UNHCR Country Representative Lynn Ngugi. We give special appreciation to UNHCR Program Officer Galefele Beleme for her tireless work on recruiting, finance, and logistics, and numerous other issues. UNHCR Head of Field Office Jane Okello facilitated the survey’s success at Dukwi Camp, with superb assistance from UNHCR staff Niroj Shrestha, Gracias Atwine, and Onkemetse Leburu.

It is the first solely water statistics annual digest.

The indicators in this report cover data on dam levels, water production, billed water consumption, non-revenue water, and water supplied to mines. It is envisaged that coverage of indicators will be expanded as more data becomes available. International standards and guidelines were followed in the compilation of this report. The United Nations Framework for the Development of Environment Statistics (UNFDES) and the United Nations International Recommendations for Water Statistics were particularly useful guidelines. The data collected herein will feed into the UN System of Environmental Economic Accounting (SEEA) for water and hence facilitate an informed management of water resources.

  • Botswana North-South Carrier Water Project Field Survey
    Botswana North-South Carrier Water Project Field Survey: July 2003 1. Project Profile & Japan’s ODA Loan Angola Zambia Botswana Zimbabwe Namibia Maun Francistown Ghanzi Palapye Mamuno Maharapye South Africa Gaborone Tshabong Project location map Mmamashia Water Treatment Works 1.1 Background Botswana is a landlocked country that is situated in the Kalahari Basin on the plains of southern Africa (average altitude: approximately 900 meters); it is bordered by the Republic of South Africa, Zimbabwe, Namibia, and Zambia. Its territory is generally flat and covers an area of 582 thousand square meters or approximately one-and-a-half times the size of Japan. It has a sub-tropical climate, with much of the country being arid or semi-arid. Annual rainfall averages 400mm nationwide, with southwestern regions seeing the least precipitation (250mm) and southeastern areas the most (600mm). Rainfall levels are seasonally affected and unstable. Botswana has few surface water resources in consequence of its topographical and geographical features and sources the majority of its water from groundwater fossil resources. At the time of appraisal, the water supply rate was 100 percent in urban areas centered around the capital, Gaborone, but in view of the fact that demand was growing at exponential rates, large-scale development of underground water was problematic and water resources around the capital had been developed, the country was considering water transmission from other regions. In addition, Gaborone was importing water on a regular basis from South Africa and the country harbored a long-cherished wish to develop independent national water resources. By contrast, the water supply rate in the regions was 50 percent and reliant on groundwater.
