Despite its strong economic performance and sound policy management, Botswana remains one of the most unequal countries globally. The country's complex social protection system lacks efficiency, with funds often allocated towards regressive programs and burdened by high administrative costs. To make growth more inclusive, there is a pressing need for more targeted fiscal interventions and a comprehensive overhaul of the system. This includes simplifying the framework, improving its adaptability, modernizing delivery and targeting methods, reallocating funds away from regressive programs, and relying more on progressive financing sources.
