The PRINT Livestock Project in FANR became operational in July 2005. The project’s specific objective is to establish a livestock information management system (LIMS) in Animal Production and Health, Marketing and Trade. The generation of up-to-date and reliable information will assist the coordinating role of FANR as well as the development of harmonized policies and strategies in the SADC livestock sector. The mission team comprised two SADC staff, namely, Dr. Pascal Bonnet (Animal Health & Livestock Economist, CTA Chief Technical Adviser PRINT – CIRAD), Dr Bedane Information specialist PRINT. Summary of SADC PRINT mission: The mission was the launching of the SADC LIMS system and comprised three components: • the organisation of a AIMS-LIMS Stakeholders workshop, with potential contributors to LIMS and potential users of the system • a 3 days Training of trainers on the LIMS application and • the drafting of the first elements for establishing Standards Operating Procedures of LIMS in Botswana. Detailed ToR’s and timetable of the mission are provided in full in the annexures. Funding of mission: PRINT CIRAD operational budget for the period April 2009 to October 2009, Addendum 3 of the SADC CIRAD service contract (reimbursable costs).

Mission report on LIMS Adoption in Botswana B. Bedane & P. Bonnet May 2009 Page 5 1. INTRODUCTION, OBJECTIVES of the MISSION The lack of reliable livestock information in the SADC region has hampered identification of the potential and constraints of the livestock sub-sector and consequently the formulation of large scale intervention projects. To alleviate this problem, the PRINT livestock project was mandated with the establishment of livestock information system which integrates technical and socio-economic data for SADC Secretariat and its Member States (MS). In order to establish the Livestock Information Management System (LIMS), the Project gathered the necessary information (situation analysis, information needs assessment) and prepared conditions (developing templates, purchasing hardware and software, training national experts and contracting software developers) for the set-up of the system. The development phase of the database was completed by the end of July 2008 and became ready for introducing to SADC MS. Once the application was ready for roll-out, the PRINT Livestock Project has organised missions to MS to undertake the installation of the LIMS application and training of national experts. It was agreed that these missions, intended to cover all MS, start in August 2008. The first mission started on 1st August 2008 in Botswana with the following objectives. 1) To launch officially the SADC Agricultural Information Management System (AIMS) and its livestock component LIMS in the country. This one-day meeting is used to create awareness on LIMS among livestock data sources and information users and map the network of stakeholders. 2) To train trainers on LIMS data collection templates and the operation and use of

INTER­ WELLFIELD ·i i,.. CO'ISULT in association with BRITISH GEOLOGICAL SURVEY Keyworth, Nottingham, UK MATSHENG AREA GROUNDWATER INVESTIGATION Technical Report T9 August 1995 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY 1. Usable potable water supplies are limited to the Matsheng village areas. Economic fresh water supplies identified during recent groundwater investigations are located in village areas of Lokgwabe and Lehututu. Brackish water supplies identified outside the village areas are not available for use by livestock using communal grazing areas as they are either in areas already occupied or in areas with other land use designations. 2. No significant usable water supplies were identified in the communal grazing areas through the MAGI programme, and based on the available geophysical evidence, the chances of striking groundwater supplies for livestock in Matsheng communal areas are poor. 3. Total water consumption in the Matsheng area during the past year (to May 1995) is estimated at 254,200m' (697 m' per day). Of this amount about 150,000 m' (60%) are consumed by livestock watered at about 150 wells, boreholes and dams on pans. 4. Matsheng village households using public standpipes consume about 670 litres per household per week, or 20 litres per person per day (67% of the 30 litre DWA standard rate for rural village standpipe users). Residents of the four RAD settlements served by council bowsers received a ration of about 7 litres per person per day, or just 23% of the DWA standard.

Abstract Camels were introduced to Botswana in the early twentieth century as a means of transport for the Botswana Police Service in the Kgalagadi District. This service was discontinued in the early 1980s and the camels were handed over to communities in the district for ecotourism activities. Since their introduction in Botswana, camels were regarded as government property and were never taken as alternative livelihood option that can alleviate poverty by providing milk and other products as is the case in other countries. This study explores the prospects of utilization of camel milk and milk products by assessing perceptions and attitudes of communities on the socio-economic importance of camels, consumption preferences for camel milk and value-added milk products. A combination of qualitative and quantitative methods was used to address the objectives of the research.
