Locations

Botswana

Botswana historically leveraged diamond revenues to build strong institutions, social services and basic infrastructure, contributing to poverty reduction and human development over past decades. In the face of a downturn in the global diamond market and associated fiscal pressures, the government is prioritizing economic diversification and structural reforms to attract investment in services, manufacturing, tourism, renewable energy and digital infrastructure. Significant public investments and plans under the National Development Plan and Botswana Economic Transformation Program aim to upgrade transport, digital networks, and utility systems while expanding renewable energy capacity. However, implementation of infrastructure projects faces challenges including efficiency and planning constraints, underscoring the need for improved governance to ensure public investment translates into sustained inclusive growth.

Lesotho

Lesotho’s development agenda includes upgrading essential infrastructure - such as transport links, water supply and energy systems - to support economic integration with South Africa and regional markets. Participating in Southern African regional projects helps improve connectivity, but limited domestic resources and challenging terrain mean that external financing and improved governance are important for realising investment in critical infrastructure that supports inclusive growth and provokes private sector participation.
