CEDA, YDF investments underperform – BIDPA study

Government efforts to invest in Small to Medium Enterprises in the country have been mainly for job creation purposes, as the economy has long struggled with rising unemployment rates, particularly amongst youths.

The report, which is a study on the entrepreneurship landscape in Botswana, revealed that between 2017 and 2022, CEDA-youth-funded enterprises totalled 5,600 with all of these enterprises yielding a cumulative job return of 7,700.
