Govt urged to create employment strategy

According to a report compiled following the gathering, which was released this week, a new strategy should be implemented in a period of two to three years with joint efforts by leaders in the public, private sectors and civil society.

The report tasks government to work with the National Strategy Office (NSO) and Human Resource Development Council (HRDC) to address the issue while Statistics Botswana and Labour Market Observatory (LMO) would ensure timely availability of employment data by releasing them quarterly to enable job tracking and monitoring evaluation.
