BOTSWANA PRIVATE SECTOR DEVELOPMENT

Course description

 

 

An important objective for each SADC country is to achieve sustained Economic Growth and Sustainable Development so that people in the region have better living standards and employment opportunities.

Since its inception in 1980, SADC has formulated policies and strategies for Regional Integration in support of economic growth and development. The economic benefits expected from Regional Integration, as shown elsewhere around the world, include increased market size, improved intra-regional trade and investment flows, and increased transfer of technology and experience.

 

Being part of the SADC union, Botswana has a priviledged access to regional markets.

• Market openness

  • within the SADC Member States

  • with the European Union - EU-SADC Economic Partnership Agreement (EPA)
