Aid and the Environment: The Case of Botswana

Author

Abstract

Botswana has serious environmental problems which, if not addressed, will undermine the attainment of sustainable economic development. This study attempts to determine what aid flows have actually been doing with regard to the environment in Botswana. The results show that although both the national government of Botswana and top aid donors have concerns for environmental sustainability in sustainable economic development, the actual amount allocated to the sector is an insignificant proportion of the overall development budget.
