Translate MDGs into indigenous languages - Civil society

During a workshop organised by United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) at Maun Lodge, CSO leaders buttressed the need for inclusiveness in SDGs implementation and monitoring calling for the agenda to be translated into all existing languages in Botswana for people to understand the commitment. The participants felt that as a bottom-up approach, SDGs require localised messages to make Batswana to easily understand them and improve on their success.

The workshop at the end resolved to adopt the proposal for the translation of the SDGs into local languages and that government should help fund CSOs to help implement the SDGs.
