Boitshepo Bolele, new BOCONGO boss

Bolele is the newly appointed executive secretary of the Botswana Confederation of Non Governmental Organisations (BOCONGO), the mother body of NGOs in the country. Joining the organisation is a dream come true for her as she always had a life-long ambition to empower impoverished communities.

"I am coming at a time when there is a new circle in development. I am very happy. The NGO sector allows us to drive the development agenda at the level of the people. This is something I am comfortable with," she says. At BOCONGO, she will be pushing the development agenda. Capacity building is another issue she will be dealing with at the organisation.
