As indicated in 3  the programme, the line-up of speakers and roundtable discussions will articulate the history and impact of policy development and industrialisation efforts; the challenges Botswana faces; the consequences of not reforming or not responding appropriately; narrate the experiences of more successful jurisdictions in transiting to high-income status; and put forward, for evaluation, initiatives and agenda for transformation.
Fortunately, it is propitious that the workshop is held in the same week that the first Budget Speech of the 12th Parliament was delivered by the Honourable Minister of Finance and Economic Development; thus an opportunity to examine prospective initiatives coming from this workshop alongside the most recent policy pronouncements by the Government.
