The Botswana government through the Ministry of Youth, Sport and Culture has partnered with the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation to transform the country's public libraries in line with the new information age.

The two partners are implementing a project now known as Sesigo that is aimed at enabling free computer and Internet access to all citizens even those in the rural areas.

Project director, Sebusang Sebusang, said their intention is to ensure that they reach all the corners of the country. "We want Batswana across the country to have access to the Internet.
