POSITION OF BOTSWANA IN THE REGION OF SUB-SAHARAN AFRICA

Summary/Abstract: Botswana is a land-locked country in sub-Saharan Africa. This location predestined that Botswana would be one of the poorest and least developed countries in the world economy. Several circumstances influenced the development of Botswana. The country belongs to the most successful sub-Saharan African countries today. It achieves one of the highest rates of GDP per capita and it is one of the largest exporters. Botswana has achieved very good results in the fight against corruption and it belongs to the countries with the most developed infrastructure in sub-Saharan Africa. On the other hand the export of the country is concentrated on one commodity and there is a very high unequal distribution of income of the population. Botswana has to diversify its economy and lessen dependence on the production of diamonds. At the same time it needs to improve and build up the infrastructure to enable further development of the country in the future.
