| Overview : The Government of Botswana, with support from UNDP, is facilitating the formulation of a national strategy for sustainable development. Following several rounds of consultations and studies, a draft National Framework for Sustainable Development (NFSD) has been developed, which provides the direction on Botswana’s approach to sustainable development and proposes the priority areas or building blocks to focus on in order to drive the country on to a sustainable development pathway. The draft NFSD provides the basis for Botswana to pursue a broad-based sustainable development pathway, in which all actors (state and non-state) and functions and sectors (e.g. policy, education, production, consumption, technology, investment) form part of the sustainable development value chain. It also shows that non-state actors, specifically the private sector, will play an increasingly greater role in sustainable development at the core of their business models. The next step in the SD process is to develop a strategic action agenda around the 8 building blocks as the initial entry points for facilitating the broad uptake of sustainable development in Botswana. This involves developing the appropriate strategies and actions that need to be employed to take each building block into practice in Botswana. In support of Botswana’s need to develop the draft Framework into a Strategy with an Action Plan, UNDP is recruiting a self-constituted and innovative team of up to 4 experienced experts to develop the priority areas or building blocks identified in the framework into strategic, action-oriented technical papers that operationalize the draft Framework. The team will have a good understanding of sustainable development and expertise in each of economic development, social development and environment and governance, and have a good understanding and experience with the workings of the private sector including the financial services sector.
