Poor project management slows down economy - report

In a second quarter economic commentary, Econsult researchers, Keith Jefferis and Thabelo Nemaoran say that it is essential that proper attention be devoted to proper planning, selection, design and management of public sector investment projects.

"Maybe this means doing fewer projects but doing them better. It certainly means developing improved capacity within government and parastatals to plan and manage projects, if not it is certain that future growth will be hindered and Botswana's reputation for good governance and management will be in jeopardy," states the report.
