The African report on child wellbeing, How child-friendly are African governments? - Botswana

The African Report on Child Wellbeing provides an insight into the wellbeing of children in Africa and assesses the extent to which governments meet their obligations, through a ground-breaking Childfriendliness Index – developed by The African Child Policy Forum (ACPF). The Government of Botswana came out as 15th on the Childfriendliness Index, out of the 52 African governments covered in the assessment. This was mainly for two reasons: first, as a result of the Government of Botswana’s commitment in allocating a relatively high share of its national budget to provide for the basic needs of children; and secondly, as a result of the effort and success in achieving relatively favourable wellbeing outcomes as reflected on children themselves.
