| Summary: | The objective of this report is to
provide an overview of the selected likely development
impact of HIV/AIDS for Botswana. The purpose is to develop a
framework for dialogue with the Government, relevant
stakeholders, and the donor community on the appropriate
actions to pursue in support of the Government's
strategy on the epidemic. The review was also initiated as
an exercise to complement the efforts of policymakers in
Botswana to incorporate HIV/AIDS into the planning process
on a regular basis. As such, it is directed at the officials
at the ministries of finance and development planning. It
employs conventional demographic and economic models to
analyze selected development impacts of HIV/AIDS on the
economy, thereby providing an illustration of how these
impacts can be incorporated in the regular planning
processes (including annual budgeting) in the finance and
development ministries of the Government. It points out the
need for monitoring the progression of the epidemic through
further research and improvements in the existing research instruments. |
