Minister of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation (MOFAIC) Pelonomi Venson-Moitoi said there is a need for a policy for the government to fund campaigns of Batswana seeking positions in international organisations.

Venson-Moitoi said there was no budget in place for her campaign but that she would be allowed to do campaigns while on official trips within Africa.
