LAUNCH OF THE MONTH OF PRAYER AGAINST HIV/AIDS, NCDs, GBV AND ROAD TRAFFIC CRASHES

Theme: “Let There Be Life” – John 10:10
“I came that they may have life and have it abundantly.”

A go nne le Botshelo – Johane 10:10

This morning, the Ministry of Finance launched the Month of Prayer against HIV/AIDS, Non-Communicable Diseases (NCDs), Gender-Based Violence (GBV) and Road Traffic Crashes, under the theme “Let There Be Life.”

Coordinator and Advocate (BOCHAIP), Mr Moses Mosigi, addressed staff on the objectives of the Month of Prayer and highlighted the importance of collective action in addressing these challenges.

As part of the Month of Prayer Against HIV/AIDS, NCDs, Gender-Based Violence, and Road Traffic Crashes, Pastor Matekane and also Deputy Secretray, Macroeconomic Policy delivered a message titled “Let There Be Life,” based on John 10:10, where Jesus declares that He came so that people may have life in its fullness.

The message highlighted God's power to bring restoration, healing, and renewal wherever there is brokenness, fear, sickness, discouragement, or loss. Participants were encouraged to seek God's intervention in their spiritual lives, families, health, dreams, communities, and the nation as a whole.

Special emphasis was placed on praying for healing from HIV/AIDS and NCDs, protection from road traffic accidents, an end to gender-based violence, and the restoration of hope and unity within families and communities.

The sermon concluded with a call to receive God's abundant life through faith in Jesus Christ, complete surrender to His will, steadfast fellowship with Him, and daily dependence on the Holy Spirit. The central message was clear: God is able to speak life into every area of need, bringing hope, healing, and transformation to individuals, families, and the nation.

Let There Be Life.

At the recently concluded Roundtable discussions, the Botswana Economic Transformation Programme (BETP) presented a diverse portfolio of investment opportunities across key sectors of the economy, highlighting the significant scope for private capital and strategic partnerships to support Botswana’s economic transformation. The engagement with the Dangote Group therefore represents an important opportunity to connect Botswana’s transformation pipeline with one of Africa’s leading industrial investors. Given the Group’s extensive experience in large-scale industrial development, manufacturing, energy, logistics and related value chains, there is considerable potential to identify areas where its investment capabilities and strategic interests intersect with opportunities emerging from BETP.

As a concrete next step, the Dangote Group and the BETP Secretariat have agreed to undertake a deeper review of the relevant projects within the BETP portfolio. The two parties will explore potential synergies, investment opportunities, joint ventures and other areas of strategic alignment, with a view to identifying specific projects that could be progressed into further commercial and technical engagement.

BETP MEDIA ROUND TABLE | MID-YEAR REVIEW

On Wednesday, 2 September 2026, the Ministry of Finance hosted the Botswana Economic Transformation Programme (BETP) Media Round Table Mid-Year Review, providing an opportunity to share updates on the programme and take an in-depth look at progress under the BETP Social Protection Programme.

Dr. Tshokologo Alex Kganetsano highlighted that Parliament adopted the BETP as a strategy designed to transform and fundamentally reshape Botswana’s economy—moving away from dependence on a single sector towards a diversified, high-income economy aligned with Vision 2036.

During the review, the BETP Secretariat presented progress achieved over the past six months, key implementation challenges, and priorities for the remainder of the year.

The engagement provided an opportunity to assess achievements to date, address emerging implementation gaps and strengthen coordination among stakeholders, with a particular focus on improving the effectiveness and delivery of social protection services to targeted communities.
