“The strategy will assist SMMEs overcome their barriers to trade through formulation of new online marketing platforms,” he said adding that that the strategy will be in place by June 2020.

Business Botswana President Gobusamang Keebine assured all the stakeholders that the project will not be another talk shop but they will ensure effective implementation and major success impact of beneficiaries.

“Business Botswana is always looking for ways to harness the competitiveness of SMEs and this project could not have come at a better time, when Government is accelerating policies and legislations geared towards improving the business environment,” noted Keebine.

Acting Director General of AfD Dr. Josephine Ngure said that they look at the project as one of the most important interventions it has ever supported in Botswana.

“The project will assist the Government of Botswana to unlock its potential and diversify the economic and export base of the country into sectors that will continue to grow long after diamonds have run out,” he said.

He highlighted that the approach is to target both product and market diversification in order to boost domestic and intra-regional trade.

Ngure said that the support to Botswana economic diversification project aims at strengthening small stock, tourism and horticulture industries through a number of interventions aimed at improving business linkages and partnerships.
