SPEAKER ANNOUNCEMENT | BOTSWANA ENERGY WEEK 2026 🇧🇼

We are pleased to welcome Ms. Madalo Minofu, World Bank Group Country Manager for Botswana, as a panellist for Investment & Finance Day at Botswana Energy Week 2026.

Ms. Minofu will join the Closed-Door DFI Roundtable, a high-level conversation focused on one of the most important questions facing Botswana’s energy transition:

How do we move from ambitious energy projects to bankable, financed and delivered investments?

The roundtable will convene development finance institutions, government, investors and key industry leaders to examine project bankability, blended finance, risk mitigation and the capital required to accelerate Botswana’s energy ambitions.

TSHWARAGANO YOUNG MOTHERS DEVELOPMENT CENTRE IS UNDERWAY!

Today marks another important step as borehole drilling officially begins at the Tshwaragano Young Mothers Development Centre in Maun.

What started as a vision is steadily becoming real, one piece of infrastructure, one partnership and one young mother at a time.

The borehole will be more than a source of water. It is the foundation for the agricultural activities, skills development and livelihood opportunities that will help young mothers build sustainable futures for themselves and their children.

Thanks to the support of our anchor partner Lucara Botswana

Change Africa Pays Courtesy Visit to the Mokubilo ‘MAINE’ Integrated Farm supported by Lucara Botswana

Today we visited the Mokubilo farm project, supported by Lucara Botswana, on a courtesy and benchmarking visit for the Tshwaragano Young Mothers Development Centre.

What Mokubilo shows is that agricultural enterprise, done deliberately, is never only about yield. It is about dignity. It is about giving people a reason to stay, to build, and to believe that the future is something they get to shape.

Tshwaragano is being built on that same conviction: that young mothers are not a challenge to be managed, but a generation of builders waiting for the right platform. Every benchmark we take, every partner who walks this road with us, brings that platform closer.

Our sincere gratitude to Lucara Botswana for their continued partnership and for opening the gates to Mokubilo, and to the team on the ground for their generosity and candour.

ANNOUNCING BOTSWANA ENERGY WEEK STRATEGIC PARTNER

It is with immense pride that Change Africa announces the United Nations in Botswana as a Strategic Partner of Botswana Energy Week 2026 (26–28 November, Gaborone).

When the UN system stands alongside a national convening on energy, it signals something larger than a single event. It affirms that Botswana’s energy future is inseparable from our development future, from health and food security to resilience, gender equality, jobs, and the Sustainable Development Goals we have committed to as a nation.

Under the theme Accelerating Investments, Innovation & Accountability in Energy, this partnership strengthens all three commitments: it brings global expertise to the table, it anchors our energy transition in measurable outcomes, and it holds us, public and private sector alike, to a higher standard of delivery.

Powering Botswana’s Future, Together with the United Nations in Botswana

This morning, Change Africa sat down with the United Nations Country Team at UN House in Gaborone to chart how the UN family can walk alongside Botswana Energy Week 2026 (26–28 November).

What an honour to be received by Heads of UN Missions and senior representatives from UNICEF, UNFPA, WHO, UNDP, IOM, UNHCR, FAO, and the Office of the UN Resident Coordinator, a genuine whole-of-UN presence around a single national conversation.

Botswana Energy Week is a nationally-owned accountability platform; the place where the commitments in Mission 300, NDP 12 and the BETP pipeline are translated into investment, delivery, and public accountability. Hon. Bogolo Joy Kenewendo will offer the Opening Address. The UN plugs in through defined entry points that advance the UN Sustainable Development Cooperation Framework and SDGs.

Deep gratitude to the Resident Coordinator and her team for hosting us.
