The latest global competitiveness ranking conducted by the Swiss-based Institute of Management Development (IMD), has seen Botswana’s comparative competitiveness rise four notches higher to emerge the highest ranked African country.

Women in Politics caucus NGO, a welcome development

In the 2014 General Election, women who stood for parliamentary elections were a mere 17 out of a total of 192 aspirants, and sadly the number dropped to 11 out of 210 parliamentary aspirants in the 2019 General Election.
