Botswana National Commission for UNESCO launches committees

The programmes launched cover Education, Natural Sciences, Social and Human Sciences, and Communication and Information Technology.

Since 2018, the Botswana National Commission for UNESCO has been in the process of strengthening structures for coordination of a UNESCO mandate at national level. Speaking at the launch, the chairperson of the commission Kgosi Puso Gaborone said the focus for 2018 was in strengthening the commission as the highest decision making body of the Botswana National Commission for UNESCO. As a result, two ordinary meetings of the Commission were held in May and December 2018. He noted that that was to prepare for the Programme Committees whose role is to implement UNESCO Programmes and to report status of implementation to the Commission.
