Investor interest grows in BETP :: Mmegi Online

Government has noted “strong interest” from both local and international investors in the Botswana Economic Transformation Programme (BETP), the state-backed, private sector led initiative housing more than 180 projects valued at P514 billion.

The BETP, which represents government’s main push for economic transformation in the next ten years, was approved together with the National Development Plan (NDP12) last year by Parliament.

He said the online portal for the BETP had elevated Botswana’s development agenda onto the regional and global stage, reinforcing government’s strategic shift toward a private sector-led, export-oriented economy.
