Review: Social Protection in Botswana: Socio-Economic and Legal Perspectives

Dolly Ntseane and Kholisani Solo’s book Social Protection in Botswana: Socio-Economic and Legal Perspectives is a careful, well-regarded study of social protection in Botswana, anchored in its historical and socio-economic context. The book reviews existing international, regional and local legal instruments on social protection and their suitability for application in Botswana. This includes United Nations instruments that offer policy guidance that is supplementary to local instruments. The latter part of the book offers practical recommendations to improve Botswana’s social protection regime, and these will be of great use to policy-makers, administrators and those implementing social protection programmes.
