  • OSAC Country Security Report Botswana
    OSAC Country Security Report Botswana Last Updated: July 28, 2021 Travel Advisory The current U.S. Department of State Travel Advisory at the date of this report’s publication assesses Botswana at Level 4, indicating that travelers should not travel to Botswana due to COVID-19. Review OSAC’s report, Understanding the Consular Travel Advisory System. The Institute for Economics & Peace Global Peace Index 2021 ranks Botswana 41 out of 163 worldwide, rating the country as being at a High state of peace. Crime Environment The U.S. Department of State has assessed Gaborone as being a HIGH-threat location for crime directed at or affecting official U.S. government interests. The U.S. Department of State has not included a Crime “C” Indicator on the Travel Advisory for Botswana. Review the State Department’s Crime Victims Assistance brochure. Crime: General Threat Criminal incidents, particularly crimes of opportunity (e.g., purse snatchings, smash-and-grabs from parked cars and in traffic, residential burglaries), can occur regardless of location. Theft of mobile phones, laptop computers, and other mobile devices are common. Criminals can be confrontational. Criminals often arm themselves with knives or blunt objects (e.g., tools, shovels, bats). Botswana has strict gun-control laws, but criminals reportedly smuggle firearms from neighboring countries where weapons are inexpensive and readily available. A public awareness campaign highlights this issue and requests the public report illegal firearms to the police. Reporting indicates instances of non-violent residential burglaries and violent home invasions. Incidents affect local residents, expatriates, and visitors alike. Robberies and burglaries tend to spike during the holiday seasons.

  • 2017 Policy Brief 1 Botswana
    Policy Brief 1, February 2017: Botswana Botswana telecommunications limp a decade after policy changes • Botswana’s mobile operators have become comfortable in their respective market segments at the cost of competition. • At 59% internet penetration, Botswana’s people do not access the internet as much as regional counterparts due to high mobile broadband costs — ranked 11 out of 15 SADC countries. • The national ICT policies focussed on supply side issues in the wholesale market to little avail. • There needs to be a comprehensive ICT sector review undertaken to assess the performance of market actors. • A national broadband policy is further required to enhance the sectoral benefits and knock-ons effects of trends in the ICT sector and their adoption by end-users. Introduction The Botswana telecommunications market is composed of four main operators. Three of these operators, BTC, Mascom, and Orange, operate with PTO licences. The fourth entrant, BoFiNet, provides wholesale services. While the PTO licence allows the three operators to provide converged services1, Mascom and Orange continue to offer mobile telephony services, which include mobile internet and value-added services.

Even though the market continues to develop innovative broadband, competition in the market has remained dull.

    Evidence for ICT Policy Action Policy Paper 1, 2013 Understandingwhat is happening in ICT in Botswana A supply- and demand- side analysis of the ICT sector Steve Esselaar and Sebusang Sebusang Research ICT Africa Research ICT Africa (RIA) is an information and communication technology (ICT) policy and regulation research network based in Cape Town, South Africa, under the directorship of Dr. Alison Gillwald. As a public interest think tank, RIA fills a strategic gap in the development of a sustainable information society and knowledge economy. The network builds the ICT policy and regulatory research capacity needed to inform effective ICT governance in Africa. RIA was launched a decade ago and has extended its activities through national, regional and continental partnerships. The network emanates from the growing demand for data and analysis necessary for appropriate but visionary policy required to catapult the continent into the information age. Through development of its research network, RIA seeks to build an African knowledge base in support of sound ICT policy and regulatory design, transparent implementation processes, and monitoring and review of policy and regulatory developments on the continent. The research, arising from a public interest agenda, is made available in the public domain, and individuals and entities from the public sector, private sector and civil society are encouraged to use it for purposes of teaching and further research or to enable them to participate more effectively in national, regional and global ICT policymaking and governance.

  • Francistown SEZ-SEA
    INTRODUCTION The development of the Special Economic Zones (SEZs) Policy for Botswana (2011) and Special Economic Zones Act No. 13 of 2015 came as a response to the recommendations of the Business and Economic Advisory Council (BEAC) of 2005. The Policy defines Botswana’s SEZs as geographically delineated economic areas with their own SEZs Authority. The SEZ Act established the Special Economic Zones Authority (SEZA) which is responsible for providing investor-friendly business environment with a view to attracting both domestic and foreign investors. The government aims to develop the SEZs in strategic areas across the country as a strategy for promoting the development of world class industries that will lead to the diversification of the country’s economy. The development of these will follow public sector, private sector and public-private partnerships, as the market would dictate. BRIEF PROJECT DESCRIPTION The objective is to prepare a Master Plan (Business case and Urban & landscape Designs) for the Francistown Special Economic Zone (SEZ). This project is part of an initiative of the Business and Economic Advisory Council of Botswana (BEAC) which recommended the development of the Special Economic Zones (SEZs) Policy for Botswana. The SEZ Regulations and incentives package has been developed to provide the regulatory framework regarding the establishment, development and management of SEZs as per the provisions of the SEZ Act No. 13 of 2015 and the SEZ Policy. SEZA requires that this achievement be translated into a robust Business Case and Urban Design & Landscape Design Master Plan to guide the development of the Francistown Special Economic Zone. The proposed area for the SEZ is a greenfields site adjacent to the airport.
