FOREWORD The tenth National Development Plan (NDP 10) marks the last leg in achieving the aspirations of Botswana’s long-term vision, Vision 2016; Towards Prosperity for All. NDP 10 also takes us to the year 2016. Hence the theme of this Plan is, “Accelerating Achievement of Vision 2016 Through NDP 10.” NDP 10 is result-based and accords various sectors and stakeholders the opportunity to pay more attention to practical expectations and impacts of programmes and projects that they are expected to deliver. The guiding principles of rapid economic growth, social justice, economic independence, sustained development and Botho as was the case with the previous Plans are still relevant in this Plan. The need to change the mindset of Batswana through encouraging talents, creativity, hard work and discipline should be at the forefront of our economic development agenda. Hence, the underpinning principles of Democracy, Development, Dignity, Discipline and Delivery have been chosen to be the roadmap of our development agenda during NDP 10 and to the Vision 2016 goals. Since Independence in 1966, there has been a notable transformation of the country’s economy from least developed, to one of an upper middle-income status. Botswana has also made achievements in areas such as: development of infrastructural facilities across the country; a more than tenfold increase in per capita income, stable democratic rule, good governance and sustained economic performance, among others. Real per capita income has increased significantly from P1 682 to P14 246.6 in 2008. The formal sector employment has grown over the same period from 25 000 to 308 600. We have also seen poverty levels among our people being reduced from as high as 59 percent in 1985/86 to 47 percent and 30 percent in 1993/94 and 2002/03, respectively. Over time, the natural advantage of mineral resources has been converted into the basis for a more diversified economy which will be significantly less dependent on imports. Despite all these achievements, challenges ranging from alcohol abuse, shortage of shelter, declining social values, environmental degradation, reckless driving, HIV/AIDS, unemployment, poverty to global competition still remain valid today. In addition to the above challenges, economic diversification, sustainable economic growth; public sector reforms and private sector development, financial discipline, rural development, and road accidents, still remain more visible as constraints to achieving Vision 2016 goals. The situation has been made worse by the recent global financial and economic crisis which has adversely reduced resources available for development initiatives. This has resulted in an unprecedented budget deficit of P31.9 billion over the NDP 10 Plan period. We must always be vigilant and guard against erosion of our democracy, improve productivity in agriculture, develop appropriate skills and empower the youth. Particular attention should be paid to diversification and use of our resources in a sustainable way. On a regional and international context, Botswana is a member of the Southern African Customs Union (SACU), Southern African Development Community (SADC) and World Trade Organization (WTO), all of which require common policies and strategies, as well as the need to open up markets. Being a member of these bodies as well as signatory to the Interim Economic Partnership Agreement with the European Union (EU) and African Growth Opportunity Act (AGOA) with the USA, offers Botswana opportunities for a large export market base which will continue to be exploited. To this end, Government will xxiii
