Gov't engages private sector on NDP-10

GICO director general, Moses Lekaukau, told the gathering that government alone could not bring developments to the people of this country. He said that it was clear that the private sector needed to be engaged and strengthened to make Botswana a private sector-driven economy.

He revealed that National Development Plan 10 (NDP-10), which starts next year, will be longer than its predecessors, as it will take the country to 2016 (seven years), whilst other NDPs had taken five years. He said government wants to realise sustainable development by 2016.  Representatives of the private sector were from commercial banks, fund managers, insurance companies and others.
