MINISTRIES FORTIFY COMMITMENT TO ESA

The Ministry of Child Welfare and Basic Education today convened a multi-sectoral meeting with the Ministries responsible for Health, Youth and Gender Affairs as well as Local Government to reaffirm Botswana's commitment to the Eastern and Southern Africa (ESA) Commitment.

(ESA) Commitment is a regional political commitment adopted by Ministers of Education and Health from 20 countries in Eastern and Southern Africa. Its purpose is to improve the education, health, and well-being of adolescents and young people.

Addressing stakeholders, Permanent Secretary in the Ministry of Child Welfare and Basic Education Ms. Mmamiki Kamanakao emphasized the need for stronger collaboration to tackle challenges affecting adolescents and young people, including HIV and AIDS, teenage pregnancy, gender-based violence in schools, substance abuse, school dropouts, and mental health concerns among young people.

She noted that achieving the goals of the ESA Commitment requires collective efforts from all stakeholders, as government cannot achieve these ambitious targets alone. She called for continued partnerships to ensure that every child and young person in Botswana grows up healthy, safe, informed, and empowered.
