Foundation Projects

Most of the work of the Foundation is structured as projects. Projects are undertaken in partnership with donors where the expected outcomes are agreed through consultation in advance of the project. The project outcomes form a common interest between the Foundation, the donor and the University of Botswana and bind them in a partnership which ensures that these are achieved. The role of the Foundation is one of matching and co-ordinating internal capacity and capability to external interest and opportunities for funding which lead the University towards the realisation of its Vision and Mission.

Examples of previous projects include:

  • Living accommodation for the Harry Oppenheimer Okavango Research Centre
  • Public Policy Forums
  • Chair in Telecommunications
  • Undergraduate degree in Tourism and Hospitality Management
  • Support for the co-curricular needs of students of the University of Botswana
  • Extension and Outreach for the SMME sector in Botswana (The Business Place)
