Working Paper CBMS-2020-09
working paper CBMS-2020-09 Sustainable Development Goals, Botswana: A Case Study of Gabane Village in Kweneng District Happy Siphambe Malebogo Bakwena Lexi Setlhare Mavis Kolobe Itumeleng Oageng Keamogetse Setlhare Tshegofatso Motswagae May 2020 Sustainable Development Goals, Botswana: A Case Study of Gabane Village in Kweneng District Abstract The main objective of the research paper was to use the Community Based Monitoring System (CBMS) methodology to determine progress on achievement of Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) with a view of localising SDGs to Gabane village. Generally, the results reveal that poverty is prevalent amongst women, youth and children. Specifically, the working poor constitute 40.8% of the people leaving below the poverty line. Noteworthy, is that 50% of children under 5 years of age have no access to pre-primary education. Gabane residents are reluctant to participate in poverty-targeted government programmes as evidenced by a low participation rate. Last but not least, the results show a higher unemployment rate of 23.3 %( ILO or narrow definition) and 29.44% (broad definition) in Gabane. The majority of the unemployed were youth and women. The policy implications of the results are that the government of Botswana should review the current minimum wage legislation to ensure that the minimum wage is aligned to the cost of living so as to ensure decent wages. Finally, in order to ensure that early childhood is rolled out for all under 5s, the government should expedite the implementation of the Education and Training Strategy Sector Plan (ETSSP) of 2015-2020.

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). -
Spatial Analysis of HIV Infection and Associated Risk Factors in Botswana
International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health Article Spatial Analysis of HIV Infection and Associated Risk Factors in Botswana Malebogo Solomon *, Luis Furuya-Kanamori and Kinley Wangdi Department of Global Health, Research School of Population Health, Australian National University, Canberra, ACT 2601, Australia; [email protected] (L.F.-K.); [email protected] (K.W.) * Correspondence: [email protected] Abstract: Botswana has the third highest human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) prevalence globally, and the severity of the epidemic within the country varies considerably between the districts. This study aimed to identify clusters of HIV and associated factors among adults in Botswana. Data from the Botswana Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome (AIDS) Impact Survey IV (BIAS IV), a nationally representative household-based survey, were used for this study. Multivariable logistic regression and Kulldorf’s scan statistics were used to identify the risk factors and HIV clusters. Socio-demographic characteristics were compared within and outside the clusters. HIV prevalence among the study participants was 25.1% (95% CI 23.3–26.4). HIV infection was significantly higher among the female gender, those older than 24 years and those reporting the use of condoms, while tertiary education had a protective effect. Two significant HIV clusters were identified, one located between Selibe-Phikwe and Francistown and another in the Central Mahalapye district. Clusters had higher levels of unemployment, less people with tertiary education and more people residing in rural areas compared to regions outside the clusters. Our study identified high-risk populations and regions with a high burden of HIV infection in Botswana. -

Migrant Labour in the Bukalanga Area, 1934-1985: the Unfinished Story
Historia, 63, 1, May 2018, pp 130-149 Skills acquisition and investments by Batswana migrants from southern Botswana to South Africa, 1970–2010 Wazha G. Morapedi* Abstract This paper focuses on migrant labour from southern Botswana to South Africa. The main thrust of this article is its emphasis on the positive contribution of migration to the migrants and their communities. It is argued here that although migrant labour has been blamed for having negative socio-economic effects in southern Botswana, just as in other parts of the country, it also contributed, and continues to contribute positively to the wellbeing of some households and their communities at large. Through the use of case studies from different villages in the district, the article demonstrates that poor, uneducated and unskilled young men who migrated to South Africa managed to accumulate and invest in agriculture and commercial enterprises and rose up the social ladder. In this area, migrant wages were critical in forming the basis of some enterprises, several of which are still flourishing. It also argues that some migrants acquired on-the-job skills which were later utilised productively when the migrants returned to Botswana. A similar study, but one which did not emphasise the acquisition of skills was undertaken by the author in the Bukalanga region of north-eastern Botswana in 2004. Key Words: Botswana; South Africa; migration; agriculture; labourers. Opsomming Hierdie artikel fokus op trekarbeid van suidelike Botswana na Suid-Afrika. Die artikel poog om die positiewe bydrae wat migrasie vir migrante en hul gemeenskappe inhou, te beklemtoon. Ten spyte daarvan dat trekarbeid vir verskeie negatiewe sosio- ekonomiese uitwerkings in Botswana blameer is, word hier geargumenteer dat trekarbeid positief bydrae tot die welstand van sekere huishoudings en gemeenskappe in die breë. -

Original Article Ethnozoological Survey of the Indigenous Knowledge on the Use of Pangolins (Manis Sps) in Traditional Medicine in Lentsweletau Extended Area in Botswana Setlalekgomo M. R. *Botswana College of Agriculture, Private Bag 0027, Gaborone, Botswana. Abstract Animals have played an important role in human life from prehistory. Many animals are used in zootherapy worldwide. However, the zootherapeutic practices by some communities are not well documented and may be forgotten. An ethnozoological study to document indigenous knowledge on the utilisation of pangolins in traditional medicine in Lentsweletau area in Botswana was carried out. A formal questionnaire was administered to 37 informants. The informants were 70.27% males and 29.73% females. The 10.81% of the informants were traditional doctors. Only 67.57% of the informants knew pangolins. The study revealed that most of the informants currently under the age of forty years did not know pangolins. However, the community had several pangolin myths. Pangolins were used mainly in traditional medicine (79.41%) and rarely as bush meat (20.59%) in the past. The study showed that different body parts of pangolins were used as charms and in the treatment of various human ailments like cracked heels, epistaxis, hypertension and psoriasis. The commonly used parts in the treatment of human ailments were blood and scales. -
