The objective of establishing LOC is to involve critical stakeholders in preparations for the games as much as possible. The Botswana National Olympics Committee (BNOC) says LOC will analyse preparatory programmes of participating codes and the resources and strategies they employ. It will then make recommendations to BNOC. LOC will ensure high standards in the selection of the Botswana team to the games.
