UNICEF Botswana is in Kavimba and Parakarungu, Chobe District, continuing our bold mission to connect every school to the internet through the Giga initiative. From dusty roads to remote classrooms, we’re working hand-in-hand with government partners - including the Ministry for State President and SmartBots - to turn digital dreams into reality. By bringing together key ministries, we’re building stronger bridges of collaboration - because every child deserves the tools to learn, grow, and thrive in a connected world. When we connect schools, we unlock opportunity, knowledge, and hope for thousands of children — powering up futures, one school at a time. #GigaBotswana #UNICEFBotswana #EveryChildConnected #DigitalLearning #EquityInEducation #FutureReady #ClosingTheDigitalDivide

This includes generating evidence for policy reforms, capacity building, modernising digital delivery platforms, and strengthening monitoring and evaluation systems to ensure programs are evidence-driven and accountable. At the symposium, UNICEF Social Policy Manager, Samuel Phiri shared global and regional insights on how social protection can be a powerful tool to reduce child poverty, enhance resilience, and ensure every child has the opportunity to thrive.
