EU calls for more aid for Botswana

In a press conference, the head of delegation of the European Parliament's Committee on Development, United Kingdom MP, Michael Cashman, said that Botswana should not become a "victim of its own development success, as donors discontinued their financial assistance due to the high level of the country's per capita GDP," he said.

Cashman urged donor countries to allocate more financing for development to Botswana to allow the country to sustain and develop the substantial gains it has made.
