The Ministry of International Affairs and Cooperation aims to develop a comprehensive diaspora engagement policy as part of its 2020 - 2021 strategic objectives. An important component of developing the policy is to conduct a diaspora mapping exercise, with the intention of informing key elements of the policy, which is intended to form part of the proposed Botswana Foreign Policy Framework as well as the Economic Diplomacy Strategy and the drive for a knowledge-based economy as a whole. This project aims to enhance the government's institutional capacity to engage the Batswana diaspora to enhance their participation and contribution to the country's economic development. The project also seeks to support the gathering and generating of disaggregated data on the Batswana diaspora through a diaspora mapping and profiling survey of Batswana abroad.
