Implementation of Local Agenda 21'S Education, Awareness and Training Implementation of Local Agenda 21’s Education, Awareness and Training Component: A Case Study of Gaborone Half Thesis Submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the Degree of MASTER OF EDUCATION (Environmental Education) At Rhodes University Supervisor Professor Pat Irwin By Barulaganye Jones Mogotsi January 2006 Declaration I here by certify that the Thesis entitled Implementation of Local Agenda 21’s Education, Awareness and Training Component: The Case Study of Gaborone City Council, Botswana is my original work except where due reference is made. It has not been previously presented to this or any other University for a degree in the same or different form. Not part of this work shall be reproduced without prior permission from the author or Rhodes University. Candidate: ______________________________ Barulaganye Jones Mogotsi I hereby certify that this Thesis is submitted with the supervisor’s approval Supervisor: ______________________________ Professor Pat Irwin Examiner: _________________________________ Rhodes University Copyright 2006 i ABSTRACT ‘What is required is the ‘politics of the rhizome’ in which everyone, every community, every nation and every major region comes to terms with the uniqueness of their situation and acts accordingly – and realises that it is only by vast numbers of people, of groups and organizations acting in accordance with possibilities of their situations, that the environmental crisis will be solved.’ (Gare, 1995:161). The study investigates the implementation of Local Agenda 21 ’s education, awareness and training component by the Gaborone City Council Environmental Health Department (GCCEHD) to address environmental challenges facing the city of Gaborone, the capital city of Botswana. The research was conducted as a qualitative case study that made use of semi-structured interviews, focus group interviews and document analysis as instruments of data generation. Samples of respondents were selected from the Gaborone City Council (GCCEHD) employees in management positions, workers, and elected political councillors. The study is contextualised through establishing environmental issues in the Gaborone City Council, identifying strategies to address environmental issues and the review of the Waste Management Plan 2003-2009 , which the department uses as a guiding document for waste management. The study establishes that the council employees are mostly concerned with issues of waste management and need commitment from all Local Government sectors of the work force. The study established the importance of education, awareness and training as a response to environmental issues facing Gaborone. The study also establishes the need for social education in terms of public education, awareness and training needed for the public to adequately respond to environmental challenges in their context. Models and relevant policy and guiding documents such as ii the Vision for Greater Gaborone , DPSEEA Model and Botswana Environmental Planning Principles were identified and recommended for the department to consider. The awareness and training activities should be developed and involve the community in environmental management. This should enable the council to create opportunities for income generation, at the same time changing community negative attitudes towards the environment and improving service delivery by the department. iii Acknowledgements I wish to thank my Supervisor, Professor Pat Irwin, for his skilled and unfailing assistance in preparing the draft of the many halting and tentative drafts leading to the final copy. I owe a special debt of gratitude to Gaborone City Council Environmental Health Department (GCCEHD) management, Professor Heila Lotz-Sisitka, Mr. Benjamin Mogotsi, Mr. Mphemelang John Ketlhoilwe, Mr. Sonke Sithole (GCCEHD), Ms. Gaborone (GCCEHD) and their colleagues in the Department, Jennifer Paul, Abie Ditlhake and Mr. Shreshth Mawandia, who, with typical collegiability and professionalism as well as a sharp eye, read the research drafts, suggesting corrections, elaborations and further improvements. I would like to thank all my colleagues (the staff at BOCONGO) for the support they have rendered me during the difficult times for the entire period of my study. To my friends; (Justin Hunyepa, Samuel Kebaatlhotse, Eric Ditau, Unopa Sikuku, Titus Makosha, Daniel Motsatsing, Itumeleng Tsebe, Obakeng Tamatise, Kgopolo Phukula and my beloved late friend Jomo Mosweu (may his soul rest in peace), I say guys, knowledge is from books! To all my classmates, may the love of GOD be with you all the days of your lives. Finally, I dedicate this work to my wonderful lovely wife (Botlhale) and daughter (Yaone), without whose unflagging support and encouragement this study would never have been completed. I can not thank Botlhale enough for her self-sacrificing care and support, as well as her unwavering good sense and critical intelligence. I further dedicate the study to my late mother (Mma-Loungo) who was not lucky enough to live longer to witness her son’s hard work. May her soul rest in peace.

Tel.: +46 (0)13 28 16 96, Fax: +46 13 14 94 03, e-mail: [email protected] Abstract E-waste includes components with economic and environmental importance, thus the need for their sound end-of-life management. This study provides fundamentals regarding the amounts, flows, and handling practices of e-waste in Gaborone, Botswana. A number of relevant stakeholder organisations were interviewed and an in situ waste composition study was conducted. The concentration of e-waste arriving at the municipal landfill is less than 1 weight per cent, corresponding to about 1.9 kg/capita/year, far less compared to the estimated 8 weight per cent for European Union countries. However, obsolete electr(on)ics are in urban storages primarily due to a lack of tapping mechanisms.

    BOTSWANA ENVIRONMENT STATISTICS Published by Central Statistics Office Private Bag 0024, Gaborone Phone 3671300 Email: [email protected] Contact Statistician: Ditshupo Gaobotse Environment Statistics Unit Phone 3671395 Printed by and obtainable from: Department of Printing and Publishing Services Private Bag 0081, Gaborone Phone 3914441 Fax 3912001 October 2008 COPYRIGHT RESERVED Extracts may be published if Sources is duly acknowledged PREFACE This publication is the second edition of Botswana Environment Statistics by the Central Statistics Office. The first edition was published in 2000. In between the years, the office has compiled detailed statistical reports on Wildlife, Energy and Environmental Indicators. The compilation of Environment Statistics is dictated by recognition of the fact that in order to achieve sustainable development, the natural resources and the environment which are used in development processes have to be taken into consideration in development planning. The CSO did not conduct any survey to come up with data presented in this publication, rather the department used secondary data collected from various government departments, ministries, parastatals, NGOs, and private companies. The Pressure - State - Response Model was used in preparing this publication. The model is based on a Framework for Development of Environmental Statistics developed by the United Nations Statistical Division. It looks at human activities as the 'Pressure' on the environment. Such activities include the production of goods and services; for example the production and consumption of water. The impacts of human activities on the environment are the 'State'. The quality of water is an aspect of the state of the environment. The 'Response' is the reaction to the state of the environment by governments, Non-Government Organisations (NGOs) and individuals.

  • Botswana's Technology Needs Assessment
    BOTSWANA TNA TECHNOLOGY NEEDS ASSESSMENT ON CLIMATE CHANGE FINAL REPORT NOVEMBER 2004 THE GOVERNMENT OF BOTSWANA Ministry of Environment, Wildlife and Tourism Department of Meteorological Services UNDP United Nations Development Programme TNA Foreword Botswana ratifi ed the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) on January 24, 1994; and the Convention came into effect on April 27th of the same year. The Convention’s objective is to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, for it is understood that Botswana, like many developing countries, will be impacted by climate change. Botswana needs to develop a comprehensive action plan to improve its medium to long- term capacity to address climate change. One important way to achieve the Convention’s objective to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, and thus improve public health, is to promote technologies that are clean, affordable and secure. These technologies should facilitate the use of coal to hydrogen vehicles, solar and wind power, clean-burning methane, and non-polluting power plants. Stakeholder participation was crucial to the successful completion of this Technology Needs Assessment (TNA). It also led to the fruitful exchange of information and data needed to assess technology use in Botswana. A TNA is not an end in itself, but a part of the technology transfer process, and national objectives should be held clearly in mind. The result is a living document that can be revisited and revised to refl ect the latest socio-economic and technological developments in the country. This TNA identifi ed technologies for possible donor funding, singled out policy improvement that could lead to more enabling environments, demonstrated how the capacity of local institutions and experts could be increased, and showed how public awareness of climate change issues could be enhanced.
