In a special way, I would like to recognise and acknowledge the following people and organisations for their unceasing support. They offered me new insight, edifying criticism and assistance, and from this I gained strength, courage, focus and knowledge that gave me confidence to complete this study. I thank the African Centre for Disaster Studies (ACDS) staff for trusting me with the responsibility to be a part of such a great reputable institution. This process was not easy, but your support made a positive contribution towards the completion of this study. I am grateful to my supervisor, Miss Kristel Fourie, for teaching me and allowing me to grow and learn at length the procedure of conducting successful research. Your critical input and support equipped me with knowledge and resilience that kept me going to the end. Ken and Michelle McGrath, this whole study would not have been possible if it was not for the financial support that I got through you from different individuals. I am grateful for the initiative that you took to raise funds for my study. You are a true blessing and gift from God as your name suggest. Thank you so much and may God bless you.

This trend is leading to an increase in the occurrence of disasters and heightened disaster risk, threatening the lives and well-being of individuals, organisations and communities. Previous studies have indicated that the impact of disasters in terms of human and economic losses differs between men and women. Several studies have shown that women suffer disproportionately after disasters. Reasons include existing gender inequalities, socio-economic conditions, cultural beliefs and traditional practices that limit the influence and control women and girls have over decisions governing their lives, as well as their access to resources. The dissertation explores a gendered approach toward disaster risk reduction by embarking on a case study of Chobe district in Botswana. As such, the study examines factors that contribute to gendered vulnerability in Chobe district. In addition, theoretically, the study explores a global perspective of gender integration in disaster risk reduction in policy and in practice. Although the term gender includes the categories of men, women, and boys and girls and all the other genders (LGTBI), for the purpose of this dissertation, the focus is on the basic categories of men and women. The study followed a qualitative research design to conduct empirical investigation in the Chobe district of Botswana. There were a total number of 54 participants that were involved in the study, where 48% represented females and 52% were males. Using focus groups and semi- structured interviews the design allowed the researcher to collect data in Chobe district in a natural setting where people are experiencing the phenomenon under investigation. The data collected from the Chobe district were analysed and compared with literature to reach findings using flexible model. The model is a mixture of the iterative and fixed models of qualitative data analysis. When a disaster occurs, everyone caught in the disaster zone is affected without exception of gender. However, in line with findings from other studies, this study findings suggests that the majority of women suffer more than do the men, as a result of disasters. Based on the study findings, there are gaps that still exist in Chobe district in terms of men and women involvement in DRR. Culture, social, economic, environmental and political factors followed by lack of gender sensitive policies results in women being disproportionately affected by the impact of hazards. Chobe district employs a holistic approach when it comes to DRR mitigation and management, however there is need to include a gender sensitive approach in their DRR policy implementation. It is crucial to include both men and women in development and implementation of DRR strategies, policy and practice. v The study offers recommendations on how gender can be foregrounded in legislation, policy and practice to ensure that men and women have equal and equitable platforms in managing and mitigating the impact of disasters before and in the aftermath of disasters.

    Human–Wildlife Interactions 12(2):220–232, Fall 2018 • digitalcommons.usu.edu/hwi Toward sustainable conservation and management of human–wildlife interactions in the Mmadinare Region of Botswana: villagers’ perceptions on challenges and prospects Oitshepile MmaB Modise, Department of Adult Education, University of Botswana, 4775 Notwane Rd., Gaborone, Botswana [email protected] Rebecca Nthogo Lekoko, Department of Adult Education, University of Botswana, 4775 Notwane Rd., Gaborone, Botswana Olekae Tsompi Thakadu, Okavango Research Institute, University of Botswana, 8173 Shorobe Rd., Sexaxa, Maun, Botswana Masego Ayo Mpotokwane, Department of Environmental Sciences, University of Botswana, 4775 Notwane Rd., Gaborone, Botswana Abstract: Human–wildlife conflicts are increasing globally. The increase in conflicts has been attributed to growing human and wildlife populations and a per capita increase in the consumption of natural resources. In Botswana, conflicts between humans and elephants (Loxodonta africana) are increasing. The growing human population (2.2 million) is encroaching on the animals’ already restricted range. Concomitantly, more elephants are adversely affecting arable agriculture production. To better understand the magnitude and intensity of human–wildlife interactions with elephants and other native wildlife species in Botswana, we collected data through community forum conducted July 17–18, 2017 at a “Kgotla” meeting in Mmadinare, a village in the Central District of Botswana. Mmadinare has experienced increased human–wildlife conflicts, mainly related to elephants. TheKgotla is the traditional community meeting place in Botswana villages. The Kgotla provides for freedom of expression, transparent debate, officialdom, and is the official seat for the village leaders. Issues discussed at the Kgotla are highly regarded, and individuals who have discussions do so seriously.
