Botswana's Critical Transition
Botswana's new government is attempting to reimagining the state-citizen relationship as diamond revenues collapse and public trust erodes.
The country has seen a decline in state performance indicators in recent years, with the 2024 Afrobarometer study showing 60.3% of respondents expressing dissatisfaction with the country's direction.
Citizens decry economic mismanagement and soaring unemployment.
Historically, Botswana's officials managed diamond revenues prudently, investing in education, health, infrastructure, and social welfare programmes.
