The link between sustainable development and security in Botswana

Although Africa is well endowed with natural and human resources, it suffers from extreme poverty and deprivation. The scourge of HIV/Aids and other chronic diseases compounds this situation. African countries aspire to build strong states that have significant social depth and are anchored on the virtues of just and equitable societies. However, the painful reality is that most of these states are elitist and divorced from the people and are often characterised by repression and lack of accountability and political legitimacy.
