Author: Madzima, Jackson Title: Money Laundering and Terrorism Financing Risks in Botswana Summary: Botswana has a relatively good legal foundation to fight financial crime in general. With the second reading of the Financial Intelligence Bill and the regulation of non-financial institutions prone to money laundering, the legal framework will be remarkably enhanced. However, Botswana has not yet undertaken an assessment of its risks and vulnerabilities to money laundering and the financing of terrorism in terms of international requirements. Significantly, Botswana’s legal framework does not recognise the risk of money laundering in either limited- or high-risk situations. This is in spite of the Financial Action Task Force (FATF) espousing a country-specific risk analysis and application of a regulative framework for all forms of business relationships. The rationale for adopting the risk-based approach is that a better understanding of the extent, form, production and disposal or use of the proceeds of crime helps to determine the appropriate interventions. Tentative steps towards establishing trends in money laundering and the financing of terrorism have been taken over the past few years. A team of World Bank experts visited Botswana at the end of 2006 to assess the implementation of the FATF anti-money laundering and counter-financing of terrorism (AML and CFT) standards. In early 2007 the Directorate on Corruption and Economic Crime (DCEC), in collaboration with the Institute for Security Studies (ISS) of South Africa, undertook research to establish trends in money laundering in Botswana. The findings are yet to be publicised. However, what is apparent is that these investigations were by no means exhaustive. This paper is a contribution to the discourse on money laundering and the financing of terrorism in Botswana. It provides an overview of Botswana’s AML/CFT regimes. This will follow a brief outline of the international regulatory regimes for curbing both money laundering and the financing of terrorism. Significantly, the paper subscribes to the view that both these activities exhibit the same characteristics and therefore that their analysis can and should broadly be made within the same framework. An analytical framework woven around the ‘three pillars’ of prevention, enforcement and international co-operation is used in this discussion.

Author: Machisa, Mercy Title: The Gender Based Violence Indicators Study Botswana Summary: Over two thirds of women in Botswana (67%) have experienced some form of gender violence in their lifetime including partner and non-partner violence. A smaller, but still high, proportion of men (44%) admit to perpetrating violence against women. Nearly one third of women (29%) experienced Intimate Partner Violence (IPV) in the 12 months to the prevalence survey that formed the flagship research tool in this study. In contrast, only 1.2% of Batswana women reported cases of GBV to the police in the same period. Thus the prevalence of GBV reported in the survey is 24 times higher than that reported to the police. This suggests that levels of GBV are far higher than those recorded in official statistics and that women have lost faith in the very systems that should protect them as well as offer redress. Patriarchal attitudes are a significant underlying factor driving the incidence of GBV in Botswana. While women and men affirm gender equality in the public domain this has not translated in their private lives particularly in their intimate relationships. While the findings from the survey and police data show that GBV is the most flagrant violation of human rights in Botswana at the present time, only 6% of the 188 speeches by politicians over the last year focused on GBV while 9% made some mention of the scourge. Only 5% of monitored news articles from Botswana covered GBV and in these perpetrators were three times more likely than to be heard than survivors. The media still reports on GBV in sensational ways that trivialise the experiences of women.

Author: Cannon, Abby Title: Botswana's Gender-Based Violence Referral System Project: Operations Research End Line Report Summary: This operations research study evaluated a pilot mobile phone-based referral system for survivors of gender-based violence in Botswana. Through a quasi-experimental design, researchers sought to improve understanding of the process and results of that country's Gender-Based Violence Referral System Project. This report presents results and recommendations related to community perceptions of gender-based violence (GBV), provider perceptions and processing of GBV cases, and the GBV referral system Details: Gaborone, Botswara: Ministry of nationality, immigration and Gender Affairs, 2018. 139p.

Author: Molomo, Mpho Title: Promoting Partnerships for Crime Prevention Between the State and Private Security Providers in Botswana Summary: State agencies alone are unable to combat rising levels of crime. Unlike state security, private security providers are driven by profit, and render service to those who can pay for it. The intent of this report is to identify entry points for establishing and strengthening crime prevention strategies, policies and initiatives; it suggests reforms necessary to enhance public-private partnerships, and endeavours to provide an analysis on the legitimacy, accountability and oversight of the various security actors involved in crime prevention. The report underscores that there is no specific law or Act governing the operations of private security providers. Details: IDRC Digital Library, 2014. 39p.
