Botswana's UN resident coordinator Lwin leaves enviable legacy

Speaking to Mmegi in an exclusive interview, she said, "One of the most significant changes we made collectively as the UN team in Botswana is that we have moved to have a single coherent UN programme in support of Botswana's tenth National Development Plan (NDP10) with 15 participating UN Agencies.

Lwin further said that the Government of Botswana-UN Programme has been wholly integrated into the NDP10's coordination structure adding that this is an indication that the UN is a valued partner of the Botswana government.  She pointed out that in addition to a robust programme of cooperation with Botswana the provision of the former SADC headquarters as the UN Building, has given greater recognition to the organisation in Botswana.
