Botswana Map Policies

The Media Action Plan (MAP) on HIV and AIDS and Gender initially started with a target of 11 media houses in Botswana. These were; Mmegi/The Reporter, Daily News, Botswana Press Agency; Radio Botswana, The Botswana Guardian and Midweek Sun, The Voice, The Botswana Gazette, Gabz FM, Yarona FM, Sunday Standard and The Mirror.

Progress in the roll out process was slow and only The Voice had reached drafting stage by end of 2007-2008 year. The Media Institute of Southern Africa (MISA) – Botswana Chapter was working on a similar initiative in the country and as a result MAP withdrew from Botswana to avoid duplication and allow MISA-Botswana to work with the media in that country.

The Gender Aware HIV and AIDS policy for The Voice is attached.
