The Botswana Sustainable Financing Strategy provides an integrated response to the National Vision, National Development Priorities (NDPs) and Reset agendas. It is developed as a set of actions to close the financing gap between Botswana’s available mainstream financial resources and the financial requirements needed to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The main objective of this Strategy is to narrow the SDG financing gap by implementing policy, regulatory, capacity and financial instrument reforms, providing a gender-responsive, green and climate-smart SDG financing strategy based on dialogue and partnerships for the goals and with a focus on SDG localization through decentralization.
This Strategy brings together existing financing policies, regulations, instruments and processes within a national and district-level framework to mobilize financial resources. It provides coherence between different financing policy areas (public and private financing and macro-systemic issues) and the national and local sustainable development priorities; while also outlining options to guarantee collaboration across stakeholders and partners.
