However, these rights are not enjoyed equally by all. Areas of concern include violence against women and children; discrimination against indigenous peoples; child labour; over reliance on and abuses by the mining sector; respect for diversity and culture; effectiveness of social protection programmes; and access to quality healthcare services. It is recommended that government develop a comprehensive national action plan on human rights that applies to both state and business. 2 Separation of Powers Political and personal interests have made separation between Botswana’s three arms of government difficult.

    AFRICAN WATERBIRD CENSUS COVERAGE Participating Countries, April 1997 - March 1998 COUVERTURE GEOGRAPHIQUE DES DENOMBREMENTS D’OISEAUX D’EAU EN AFRIQUE Pays participants, avril 1997 - mars 1998 Participating countries, April 1997 - March 1998 Pays participants, avril 1997 - mars 1998 1 INTRODUCTION This report This publication comprises results and overviews of wetland surveys and waterbird counts between April 1997 and March 1998, centred around the key months of July 1997 and January 1998. It is the eighth annual African Waterbird Census (AfWC) report and, like previous editions, is presented in both English and French. Copyright has been waived to encourage reproduction of reports and the practical use of data for wetland and waterbird conservation. The report is divided into five sub-regional sections, within which national overviews are followed by tables summarising waterbird data at the sub-regional level and potential Ramsar sites found to meet Ramsar criterion 3(c). A sub-regional summary discussion of the region’s results and other related topics is also presented. The final section provides additional information related to the AfWC, notably updates from the Conventions, Waterbird Specialist Groups and partners, lists of National Coordinators and waterbirds, and a bibliography. This year the report has been produced in Africa for the first time in our West Africa office in Dakar, Senegal. We do sincerely apologise to regular readers for our abnormal delay, which has resulted principally from this phase of relocation and the launch of new African projects, some bringing direct support to the AfWC. Participation and Coverage A record number of 30 countries participated, including Gabon once more and The Congo for the first time.
