Botswanacraft celebrates 50 years

The mandate of Botswanacraft is to develop the rural-based handicraft industry. It plays a crucial role in the export of  handicrafts made in Botswana and secures a market for its handwoven baskets, many of which are produced in the northern district of Ngamiland.

Botswanacraft has always promoted indigenous crafts hoping to generate income for rural Batswana. Since then, Botswanacraft has continued to market Botswana baskets and handicrafts, which are now exported to America, Europe and the rest of the world. Hence, Botswana baskets are widely regarded as some of the finest in Africa because of their high quality, outstanding workmanship and originality.
