Description
Botswana has made remarkable progress against the targets of the Southern African Development Community (SADC) Protocol on Gender and Development set for 2015. While Botswana has not yet signed the SADC Gender Protocol, legislators in the country remain committed to its ideals and targets. Botswana did make a commitment to the attainment of the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) in 2015. The SADC Gender Protocol goes a step further in setting out a detailed roadmap for the achievement of the MDGs. However, President Ian Khama of the Republic of Botswana said that Botswana would not sign the SADC Gender Protocol because the government considers some its time frames unrealistic, “and some of the measures have serious resource implications that we cannot guarantee.”
