The accounts cover the period 2015-16 but also highlight the 2010-11 to 2014-15 trends. Three (3) earlier reports have been published, covering the years 2010-11 to 2014-15 (DWA and CAR, 2013, 2015 and 2016). The SEEA styled water accounts for Botswana started in March 2012 when the Government of Botswana (GoB) entered into a partnership with the World Bank (WB) to develop accounts for natural resources and to value ecosystem services under the Wealth Accounting and Valuation of Ecosystem Services (WAVES) Programme. The WAVES initiative has since become a continuous activity of the Department of Water Affairs (DWA)’s road map towards sustainability as per Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) number 6. The Water Accounting (WA) activities of WAVES-Botswana have gone several phases with the current phase signifying full institutionalization of the accounts. The DWA is currently undertaking the updating of the accounts on their own without support of full- time consultants and this is a major achievement within the institutionalization roadmap. The current Botswana Water Accounts are based on the United Nation’s System of Environmental– Economic Accounting for Water (SEEA-Water; UN 2012). The framework describes the hydrological system (assets or stocks) in terms of a country’s water resources existing at a certain point in time, the exchanges between water resources, flows of water from the environment and within the economy in physical and monetary terms and also captures water quality issues. It also considers water- economic interactions, which is important for addressing cross sectoral

BOTSWANA ENVIRONMENT STATISTICS WATER DIGEST 2018 Statistics Botswana PREFACE This is Statistics Botswana’s annual Botswana Environment Statistics: Water Digest. It is the first solely water statistics annual digest. This Digest will provide data for use by decision-makers in water management and development and provide tools for the monitoring of trends in water statistics. 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.

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.

  • Legal Environment Assessment
    ASSESSMENT OF LEGAL AND REGULATORY FRAMEWORK FOR HIV, AIDS AND TUBERCULOSIS FINAL REPORT FOREWORD Botswana has made significant progress in addressing the HIV epidemic. Although this Legal Environment Assessment (LEA) report has shown that progressive laws, policies and jurisprudence in Botswana has helped to safeguard the rights of all people to equality and non-discrimination, including people living with HIV and TB and vulnerable populations such as women, there remain gaps and challenges that have been identified within Botswana’s current legal and policy framework that create barriers to access to prevention, treatment, care and support for all people, including vulnerable and key populations. It is imperative for all of us to take cognisance of the recommendations in the report if we are end AIDS by 2030. Botswana has adopted the Treat All strategy, developed HIV Testing Services (HTS) Strategy and reviewed the treatment guidelines. To achieve these targets by 2020, it is essential that the legal environment supports the national response in programming and ensure unrestricted access to services among all people of Botswana regardless of race, colour, religion, creed, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, national origin, disability, vocation or other status. This report is a fundamental step in ensuring that each stakeholder plays a role in the fight against the epidemic. As highlighted by the UN Secretary General: “Whatever our role in life, wherever we may live, in some way or another, we all live with HIV. We are all affected by it. We all need to take responsibility for the response.” Ensuring no one is left behind is essential since vulnerable and key populations bear much of the burden of the epidemic today.

    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.
