Our work is aligned to Sustainable Development Goals

The Flagship Project is implemented by integrating UNDP’s portfolio capacities and through strong partnerships with the private sector, Government, and civil society to effect the critical transformation needed to achieve prosperity for all.

• Expanding the roll-out of Youth Connekt, to strengthen the national youth empowerment ecosystem especially in rural and grassroot Botswana to make the project inclusive, guided by the “leave no one behind” principle. Youth Connekt is being continued as a component of the suit of initiatives aimed at producing successful digitally savvy youth entrepreneurs with a solid value system, who can be reliable and engaged community leaders.
• Developing the capacity of the private sector, especially the MSMEs, to contribute towards the growth and diversification of the economy. An expanded private sector, will in turn, build capacities to create more quality jobs, access better markets and effectively participate in supply-chain linkages through increase in productivity and competitiveness. 
• Supporting both the public and private sector to adopt the Supplier Development Methodology (SDM) as a strategic tool to position local firms in the supply chains and to build their competitiveness through skills development. 
• Providing support to the different stakeholders to productively use research and development, innovative and digital approaches to harness the available capabilities, skills and knowledge, and enhance benefits from existing opportunities in the domestic and foreign markets.
