BDIH and UNICEF Botswana Renew Partnership to Empower Young Change-Makers. Botswana Digital and Innovation Hub (BDIH) and UNICEF Botswana have reaffirmed their commitment to youth development by signing the 2025/2026 workplan during a meeting at the United Nations House in Gaborone on Wednesday, 7 May 2025.
The continued collaboration between the two organisations aims to strengthen support for young people across Botswana through a series of innovation-driven initiatives. Designed to foster leadership, creativity, and problem-solving, these programs will focus on equipping youth with the tools and platforms to drive meaningful social impact in their communities.
According to both parties, the upcoming initiatives will include a mix of physical engagements and virtual programs to ensure broad accessibility and nationwide reach. While specific details of the workplan are expected to roll out soon, the focus remains clear: nurturing a generation of young change-makers who can contribute to Botswana’s socio-economic development through innovation.
UNICEF Botswana echoed the sentiment, highlighting the importance of collaboration in amplifying the impact of youth-centered programs. The agency emphasized the role of digital and creative innovation in achieving long-term development goals.
This renewed workplan builds on previous successes and signals a continued investment in youth empowerment, aligned with national development priorities and global sustainable development goals.
