'Good Governance' Earns Botswana More Euros

EU Botswana's spokesman, Bester Gabotlale, has told the media that the allocation for the country under the 10th EDF, which runs from 2008 to 2013, is now fixed at E73 million (about P610 million), an increase of E17 million compared to the E56m originally foreseen.

Gabotlale says the additional funds were agreed on by the EU Commission based on a series of commitments by the Government of Botswana to further improve its achievements in the area of governance.
