This was said by Dr Kenneth Dipholo of the Ministry of Finance and Development Planning in his presentation at the Botswana Council of Non-Governmental Organisations (BOCONGO) national stakeholders workshop held in Gaborone on Tuesday. 

"The challenges of rural development as a process for increasing income alongside simultaneous poverty reduction (efforts) are made fierce by the all pervasive phenomenon of increasing levels of poverty and disparities in wealth," Dipholo said.
