Public-Private Dialogue Launched to Strengthen Botswana’s Investment Climate

Public-Private Dialogue Launched to Strengthen Botswana’s Investment Climate. A new public-private partnership has been launched between the Ministry of Trade and Entrepreneurship and key stakeholders to host a high-level, solution-oriented Investment Dialogue aimed at addressing pressing barriers to investment and ease of doing business in Botswana.

The initiative seeks to foster constructive engagement between government, private sector actors, and development partners, with the goal of identifying practical solutions that will enhance the country’s investment climate. The dialogue will provide a platform to bridge gaps, promote transparency, and strengthen mutual trust among stakeholders.

According to the organizers, the Investment Dialogue will focus on actionable outcomes, targeting systemic issues that have long hindered investor confidence and business growth. These include regulatory challenges, administrative delays, infrastructure constraints, and access to finance, among others.

The dialogue is expected to generate targeted policy recommendations and implementation pathways that align with national development goals and economic diversification strategies. By aligning public and private sector priorities, the partnership aims to accelerate economic reforms that support local entrepreneurship, attract foreign direct investment, and create sustainable jobs.

As Botswana continues to position itself as a competitive investment destination, platforms like this dialogue are critical for unlocking long-term growth and private sector-led transformation.
