 Parliament & National Assembly

Botswana's Vision seeks to propel Botswana into the forefront of the IT in the following respects(1):
  • By providing state of the art computer and communications equipment
  • Ensuring all people have access to telephones, national newspapers, radio and television services
  • Providing information about the operations of government and other organizations freely to all citizens
From the Vision 2016, a comprehensive Information Technology Policy has been developed and is detailed in the 9th National Development Plan (NDP9)(1). The ICT policy was developed with input from a number of ministries, the most important being the newly formed Ministry of Communications, Science and Technology, which is vested with the responsibility of implementing the ICT policy
