Botswana programs / Botswana project 633-0077 · 1980–1987 · economic opportunity
Summarizes midterm evaluations (XD-AAU-903-A through D) of Phase II of a project to increase employment in rural Botswana. Evaluations covered the period 11/83-6/86; were based on document review, site visits, and interviews with Government of Botswana (GOB) and involved personnel; and cover all subprojects (SP's) except Small Agricultural Projects. Phase II has directly assisted 3,057 rural entrepreneurs and created 1,098 new/expanded businesses and 2,531 jobs through the Rural Industrial Officer/Productive Employment Development Fund (RIO/PEDF) SP; benefited 20 families through the Horticultural Estates (HE) SP; and trained 29 district officers (DO's) through the District Institutional Development (DID) SP. The RIO SP, which has established an efficient and professional cadre of RIO's, is mainly responsible for project progress. An exception to RIO success has been PEDF job creation - only 3% of target due to extreme underutilization of the Fund (6% by the end of 1985). However, RIO's are largely responsible for the success of the GOB's Financial Assistance Program (FAP); helping entrepreneurs complete FAP applications has unexpectedly consumed over half their time.
