The Republic of Botswana has a range of social security programs which cover the countrys
citizens, as well as people belonging to poor and vulnerable groups in rural communities.
According to the National Policy for Rural Development (Government of Botswana - GoB,

Botswanan individuals.
These include the Universal Old-age Pension, the Orphan Care Program, the Labor-Based
Drought Relief Program, Supplementary Feeding for Vulnerable Groups, and the Program
for Destitute Persons. The Botswana Federation of Trade Unions (BFTU) is the workers
labor federation representing the countrys laborers. In 1997, Botswana published a
document now known as Vision 2016, which projects that poverty will be eradicated in the
country by 2016. Pensions play a vital role in enhancing the earnings of the countrys
workforce after retirement.
The government is also focusing on improving the social security framework to prevent
people from falling into poverty. Private employers also provide benefits to employees in
addition to mandatory employee benefits.
