United Nations Human Settlements Programme (UN-Habitat)

UN-Habitat operates in Botswana by providing technical assistance to the government on urban planning, housing, and sustainable development. It supports the formulation and implementation of the Botswana National Urban Policy and related housing strategies. The programme collaborates with local authorities in cities such as Gaborone and Francistown on slum upgrading and infrastructure improvements. UN-Habitat also promotes climate‑resilient urban solutions and facilitates knowledge sharing and capacity building among Botswana’s urban stakeholders.
