According to an annual study conducted by Grant Thornton, it has emerged that in Botswana about 31% of senior roles in businesses are held by women this year, which is an increase from 23% that was recorded last year and the 16% in 2015. The global survey was conducted in 5,500 businesses across 36 economies.

Similarly the percentage of businesses with no women in senior management in the country has fallen from 33% in 2016 to 27% this year. This is almost half from the 45% measured in 2015.
