REPUBLIC OF BOTSWANAJWANENG URBAN DEVELOPMENT PLAN 2 : 2003 – 2009 Jwaneng “Towards Realisation of Vision 2016: Sustainable and Diversified Development Through Competitiveness in Global Markets” JWANENG CITY COUNCIL JWANENG URBAN DEVELOPMENT COMMITTEE MINISTRY OF LOCAL GOVERNMENT FOREWORD For the second time in Botswana‟s planning history, the Urban Development Plan 2 and NDP9 preparations have been done simultaneously with the same planning periods, resulting in better integration of the two documents. The Jwaneng Urban Development Plan 2 therefore outlines development strategies, policies, programmes and projects, which will guide Jwaneng for the next six years starting April 2003 to March 2009. Extensive consultations were made with the community and other stakeholders before the finalisation of this UDP2. It is therefore necessary to refer to this plan before any representations are made regarding introduction of new projects that may be generated as the plan goes through its implementation. Jwaneng Town Council will be relying strongly on public officers to ensure the successful implementation of this plan. We expect diligence and commitment from them in fulfilling their duty of implementing development proposals as outlined in the plan. Government is in turn urged to ensure that public officers are adequately provided with logistical and other resources necessary to implement the plan. We look forward to the next six years with confidence that the plan will be implemented successfully.

The Jwaneng airfield is also opened for other air users. the overall role of Jwaneng in the development of economic activities in the region seems to be restricted to being an employment centre for mining activities and a commercial centre for western Kweneng. 7 .The Strategic Environmental Assessment will examine the effect of overall goals and objectives and sector goals and objectives on policies and programmes. SEA examines the effect of development on environment and has potential to inform policy and plan making.

An environmental impact assessment of the whole vegetation control strategy is ideal.4 Biodiversity Bushfires destroy flora and fauna. Although the Environmental Health Department continues to provide pest control services to the community. there is no inventory or programme in place to monitor the use of ozone depleting substances in the town. Noise pollution from such areas is also on the increase. Poor management of garden waste is still a topical issue in Jwaneng. In Jwaneng. Bush fires and rubbish burning within the township caused localised air pollution. 2. The indiscriminate disposal of used oil was also observed to be a potential environmental threat as it could contaminate groundwater resources or render valuable land derelict. which will be implemented during NDP9.3. and 4. more especially at Environmental units 1.3. Currently. resulting in littering and indiscriminate excreta disposal in some areas of the town. These include: The construction of the landfill that has significantly improved waste management services in the town.3. The increase in temperatures have been predicted and actually observed over the years and Jwaneng is no exception to this phenomenon. Although a block of public convenience facilities was built at the industrial site.3. Informal activities such as the mushrooming of street vendors.5 Operational and Performance Indicators Some planned projects and programmes for environmental management were undertaken during UDP 1. 2. Since the landfill started operating in 11 . 2. The proliferation of some pest species has been observed in the town and it is most likely that climate change has an important role to play in their breeding rate.4 Climate Change Climate change is a global concern. some need for more public toilets was felt in some areas of the town. Although undocumented. hawkers and shebeens are not adequately regulated. thus they are highly likely to limit species biodiversity and unbalancing the ecosystem in and around Jwaneng.3. This is especially true for the cemetery where there are no toilets at all.2.3.3 Pollution and Waste Management Overflowing sewage remained a common phenomenon in the town. some investigations into the actual reasons for invasive species in the town could help in control measures. exposing the inhabitants to respiratory tract health problems. vegetation control by way of cutting trees may be conflicting with a national biodiversity strategy and action plan. The likely consequence could be desertification if some species fail to recover at all. 2. It would also be ideal to provide public toilets for designated public markets at respective environmental units in the next plan period. As a result there has been a mushrooming of squatters all over the town.December 2002. The town has also lost potential investors. The squatting problem is currently being handled by the Department of Lands together with the Attorney General‟s Chambers. The town noticed more plot development following the increase of the SHHA loan from P6000. The absence of plots has hampered the implementation of community projects as well. had serviced land been availed.4 CONSTRAINTS / CHALLENGES IN UDP 1 2.4.

Waste management and sanitation services are now regulated in the Waste Management Act 1998 and are the mandate of the Department of Sanitation and Waste Management.00 to P20 000. The Jwaneng Town Council is also in the process of identifying more suitable sites where sand and gravel could be sourced.6 Monitoring and Evaluation Strategy Quarterly project reviews were undertaken together with the Ministry of Local Government to review the progress and reprioritize the plans where necessary. A consultancy was engaged to investigate the problems of sewage overflow in the town. It is hoped that this will reduce the land pressure experienced during UDP1. Such development has improved the general appearance of the town and also reduced public complaints on the danger of bushy neighbourhoods.1 Social and Economic Though giant strides have been made in achieving the broad goals & objectives. indiscriminate dumping of waste. Plans are underway to evict the squatters. Environmental impacts of such mining will be taken into consideration and appropriate licensing procedures will be put into place. The results provided information of mitigation measures and more specifically the upgrading and/or overhauling of the whole sewerage system including the pump stations and sewage ponds all of which are to be implemented in the next plan period.1. Construction of the public convenience facilities at industrial site will improve access to excreta disposal facilities and reduce the incidence of diarrhoeal diseases.4. 12 . Some projects which collapsed could have been saved had the necessary support from the IFS office been rendered. The shortage of residential and civic & community plots has resulted to the mushrooming of squatter settlements in the town. despite having submitted their applications to the Department of Lands many years ago.2 Collapse of FAP projects Most FAP projects have collapsed because of poor monitoring due to a shortage of staff. This problem is also attributed to the almost impossible task of distinguishing between genuine land developers and land grabbers/speculators. If the Department of Lands repossessed all the allocated land within the stipulated four-year period.4. the Jwaneng Town Council has not managed to meet the demand for SHHA plots during the Planning period under review as evidenced by the increase in the SHHA waiting list from 799 during 1996/97 to 974 during the 1998/99 and the mushrooming of squatters at the town‟s industrial area.4.The Accelerated Land Servicing Programme (ALSP) has not been able to meet the overall demand for residential. only 21% of the planned projects had been implemented. Regarding the SHHA scheme. processed FAP applications & monitored approved projects. 2. Failure by the Department of Lands to enforce the 4-year development period has also exacerbated problems of shortage of serviced land. industrial or civic and community plots. service levy & SHHA loan arrears. the absence of an Adult Basic Education and Training Policy greatly hampered the efficient implementation of the programme. poor performance of contractors (both citizen owned and expatriates) and inadequate funding from the Ministry of Local Government. Quite a significant number of SHHA plots remain undeveloped many years after they have been allocated. There exist many allocated. In fact only 3 out of 29 churches have been allocated plots ever since the programme was introduced in Jwaneng in 1990. Up to March 2001.1. commercial. 2. commercial & industrial plots all over the town. 2.3 Backlog of planned primary education projects There is a backlog of planned projects under primary education. Lack of political will to repossess plots has also contributed to the high rate of undeveloped plots. The condition of service for the literacy group leaders has proved to be a major constraint for the department because it made it practically impossible to retain them in the literacy programme. Currently it is estimated that there are 1426 squatters in Jwaneng. Currently the waiting list is 1935 and it continues to increase. Repossession of plots for reallocation has also not been possible as the political wing of the council is not in favour of such action. Technical advice and support from IFS was not always readily available because the same staff attended to clients. some date back as far as 1991. Potential entrepreneurs still have to wait for up to five or more years before they can be allocated plots.4. The other problem 13 .4 Absence of adult basic education and training policy Under Non-Formal Education. The failure to meet the target was attributed to the low implementation capacity of the Jwaneng Town Council. which the Department is supposed to do. Currently there are about 26 churches without plots. such action would encourage those just allocated to develop before the stipulated fouryear period elapsed.undeveloped residential.1.1. before any allocation can be effected. 2.2 Development Constraints There are many factors contributing to the slow pace of industrial and commercial development in the town. 2. 2. d.5.5 LONG TERM POTENTIAL DEVELOPMENTS 2. This is certainly of benefit to communities in the surrounding villages that do their shopping in Jwaneng. which needs to be fully exploited if the region is to be a major tourist destination.

Without doubt. monument and the recycled sewerage water could be used to make attractive sites for recreation such as the planned Amusement Park. The high prices paid for serviced land The high construction costs The small working population. is in line with the vision as it shows the need to diversify the economy of Jwaneng from diamond mining to other industries. 14 . For example enterprises like brick moulding and panel beating are now in operation and with the necessary support these could grow into well-established industries. In addition. Mining activities and related construction work dominate the economic base of Jwaneng. Business tourists who use the Trans-Kgalagadi road could be attracted to existing facilities such as the Game Park. due mainly to the uncertainty of the world diamond market. banks and other commercial establishments. The generally high purchasing power of the mine employees has promoted the development of a number of retail businesses as well as wholesalers.6 LINKS TO NDP 9 THEME Even though the theme for NDP9 is “Towards Realisation of Vision 2016: Sustainable and Diversified Development through Competitiveness in Global Markets”. Secondary manufacturing industries are beginning to emerge. Most tourism activities are concentrated in the north where interest is on the unique flora and fauna and the Okavango swamps. Jwaneng serves mainly as a transit route to these places.1 Development Potential Jwaneng has potential for growing into a major commercial and service centre. tourism is one of the fastest growing industries in the country and the third largest revenue earner of government after diamonds and customs. including tourism. the Jwaneng Town Council is still looking into the possibility of establishing an Information Centre to sufficiently market the town. which is estimated to be about 6 000. However. most of the people at the grass root level know little about Vision 2016.that crippled the operation of the department in Jwaneng is the absence of suitable office accommodation. The service centre seems to have developed well. b. CHAPTER THREE 3 UDP2 DEVELOPMENT GOALS AND OBJECTIVES 3.1 PLANNING FRAMEWORK The planning process in Botswana is aimed at maximising benefits derived from the limited financial resources available to government by prioritising policies, programmes and projects. In recognition of the links between district and national planning, the Jwaneng Urban Development 2 outlines development strategies, programmes and projects that will guide Jwaneng for the next six years. This is essential for bottom-up planning as development is a process of increasing people‟s capacity to determine their future. 3.1.1 Alignment to Vision 2016 The project proposals during UDP2/NDP9 planning period are as identified by people locally. The proposed projects are in line with Vision 2016. The theme for NDP 9/UDP2 is “Towards Realisation of Vision 2016: Sustainable and Diversified Development Competitiveness in Global Markets”. For the vision therefore to be realized, strategies must be put in place to increase production, impart skills to the local people and all to be committed to the vision. The plan will be encompassing the vision in the following manner: 3.1.1.1 An Educated & Informed Nation This plan does not only focus on the classroom situation for white-collar job training, but also combines with blue-collar training. This is clearly indicated by the existence/operation of the Jwaneng Technical College. There are both pre-schools, primary and Community Junior Secondary Schools in the town. The examination performance of these schools is graded well in the sense that Kgosimpe CJSS was top of the performance at a national level. The Councils therefore plans to take on board the other schools to yield good results through provision of adequate school facilities. The council is intending to clear the UDP 1 backlog on provision of education facilities. The township has no library facility denying both the children and adult learners the opportunity to supplement the information they get from schools... 3.1.1.2 A Prosperous, Productive and Innovative Nation Generally public performance in the township is poor. Different sectors have seriously put in place the PMS and WITS interventions to address the productivity issue. Programs like CEDA and FAP encourage people to venture into different types of businesses, thus diversification of the economy will be achieved. The plan envisages that by the end of the plan period at least a number of local residents will have started business projects through these programs. The Council is also trying to make provision of serviced land, both for residential and commercial, the idea being to avail land for business people, which will then address the problem of unemployment. 15 3.1.1.3 A Compassionate, Just and Caring Nation This will be achieved through implementation of policies by departments such as those of the S & CD for the poor. The Mine Hospital and the two Jwaneng Town Council clinics provide preventive and curative services. One council clinic is planned for this planning period to improve access to health services. Areas in the periphery enjoy health services from the township even though they are serviced by the Kanye/Moshupa (Southern District) catchment area sub-district. In combating the spread of HIV/AIDS the district offers Voluntary Testing and Counselling Centre services through Tebelopele Testing & Counseling Centre. The council clinics are also offering the same. The Mine hospital administers the ARVs. A Home Based Care group is already in existence to care for the sick at their places of abode. The Masedi Project and other organizations support orphans and the sick with garden produce. The project encourages abstinence from sex to the school going children. The project is still at the teething stage but hopes to improve its services throughout the planning period. 3.1.1.4 A safe and secure nation Services of Central and Local Police for combating crime locally include reduction of crime through organisations (Crime Prevention Groups). The Department of Women Affairs is to liaise with the UDC for Gender and Development issues to reduce violence against women and children. The Immigration department is to repatriate illegal immigrants in the township. Road Safety – The Office of the Road, Transport & Safety is to impart information on the road safety to the Jwaneng community. Disaster Preparedness measures have been put in place through the Disaster Management Office though the climatic conditions is semi-arid Administration of Justice - wrong doers will be handled properly which promote a sense of security. 3.1.1.5 An Open, Democratic and Accountable Nation The IEC ensures public education as a way of addressing poor attendance of political fora. IEC has embarked on public campaigns educating the community on their political rights. Such campaigns are normally conducted through Kgotla meetings. 3.1.1.6 A Moral and Tolerant Nation and a United and Proud Nation This plan envisages a proud community for Jwaneng residents in the sense that there exists an abstinence group called Masedi Abstinence Group, which encourages the school going children to abstain from sex before marriage. There are also consultations with religious groups to promote moral ethnics among the community members. Pastors involved in the fight against HIV/AIDS through the District Multi Sectoral Aids Committee are spearheading the programme. 16 3.1.2 National Environmental Key Issues The Environmental Keynote Paper of 2002 came as a result of concerns over equity between and within generations and the need to use natural resources efficiently, fairly and sustainably. The national issues are as outlined below: 3.1.2.1 Land Pressure on land and its scarcity are leading towards conflict arising from inequitable land distribution, competing livestock, arable and wildlife uses, speculative land acquisition, self allocation, non development, increasing land disputes and dual grazing rights. These have led to pressure on land, its scarcity and degradation. 3.1.2.2 Natural Resource Utilisation Trends in wildlife population indicate stability or a decline in species with the exception of protected species like elephants. Problem animals cause damage to natural resources and community based natural resource management activities have expanded rapidly and contribute significantly to rural incomes. 3.1.2.3 Water scarcity Water consumption trends indicate increases, which make water to become a scarce resource. Various water sources like boreholes and wells are drying up and underground water resources (both known and unknown) are getting polluted. These points to the need for an integrated water resources management programme. 3.1.2.4 Pollution and waste management Localised air pollution occurs around mine operations, industrial areas, waste and mine dumps. Veld fires and rubbish burning also increases air pollution and noise pollution is also becoming an issue in urban areas. Land and soil pollution also takes place through littering and unmonitored industrial practices. 3.1.2.5 Energy Land degradation and indiscriminate cutting of live trees remains a serious concern for firewood usage as a source of energy. Solar energy has great potential but it is not fully utilised. The national electricity grid is also expanding and more electricity is imported regionally. 3.1.3 District Key Issues 3.1.3.1 HIV/AIDS Like the rest of the country, there is a very high prevalence of HIV/AIDS in the township attributed to a number of factors some of which are unemployment, alcohol abuse, rape, defilement and incest. The estimated infection rate of HIV/AIDS in the township is 34 %. 3.1.3.2 Waste disposal and littering Littering and illegal waste dumping are common in Jwaneng. There has been an increase in waste production over the years as a result of increase in population and business activities in the township. This has resulted in indiscriminate waste disposal in some parts of the township. Poor garden waste disposal and collection still remains problematic and this poses problems for environmental pollution and harm to human and animal life. 17 This has resulted in indiscriminate extraction of sand and gravel within the planning area and ultimately the mushrooming of burrow pits.1. especially on foot.1.3.4 Unemployment Like in the rest of the country. The offices are hence scattered and this makes accessibility by the public very difficult. where people have to walk long distances from one office to the other.3. 3.1. upon not finding employment.1.3.3.1.3 Resource use Deforestation is occurring as a result of cutting of some live trees for firewood and a prevalence of veld fires in and around the planning area. There is plenty of wildlife in and around the planning area.3. there is currently a backlog of at least 7 000 residential plots in the township and there are currently 2100 residential plots in units 8 and 9. people continue to migrate into the town in search of job opportunities and as such end up squatting mainly because there is a serious shortage of residential plots and higher residential rentals. Squatting has resulted in overcrowding in the squatter areas. 3. commercial and industrial plots. This has resulted in a serious shortage of residential plots.8 Increased demand for serviced land There has been an increased demand for serviced land in the township and this is evidenced by the number of applications for residential. central government departments have had a serious shortage of office accommodation.3. 3.3.6 Mushrooming of borrow pits Jwaneng is a fast developing town characterised by a construction boom in most parts of the town.1. commercial and industrial premises. which have however not been serviced yet.1. 3.5 Squatting and Overcrowding Being a mining town. 3.1. for example.10 Shortage of office accommodation for Central Government Departments For a long time. which are also very scarce. which the community could benefit from as a way of diversifying the economy of the town 3.7 Veld fires There have been a lot of veld fires in and around the planning area especially over the past two years because of dry seasons resulting from the drought. people choose to hang around the township without anywhere to stay resulting in squatting within the township. which has hit the whole country.9 Shortage of teachers‟ quarters From the consultations the major outcry was with regards to the shortage of accommodation for teachers. 3. there is a very high unemployment rate in the township mainly brought about by people migrating into town in search of employment opportunities.3. 18 . However.3. Most central government offices operate from rented residential. 3. 3. The preparation of the plan is still on going and has not been finalised. To establish Jwaneng as a residential centre.2 UDP 2 OVERALL GOALS AND OBJECTIVES 3.

This Act makes it a requirement that large-scale developments should have an Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) conducted prior to their implementation. In order to achieve the above broad goal. 4. The growth of Jwaneng points to the urgent need to address issues of waste generation.2.The Act provides for the management of all kinds of waste ranging from clinical waste. The Act is very relevant to Jwaneng because being a developing town. transfer. 26 .

Some impacts might include dust and noise pollution resulting from the bulldozers evicting the squatters if government decides to take that route and solid waste. The anticipated environmental impacts are dust and noise pollution and loss of biodiversity. which are detrimental to the environment. 4. This is so that all projects carried out are socially. Objective 7:To completely eradicate squatting in the township by the end of the plan period.4. Negative environmental impacts could include cutting of vegetation and loss of biodiversity. Squatting is a very serious problem in the township. In order that this pillar is achieved. This exercise is in itself aimed at identifying possible impacts certain projects might have on the environment and ultimately come up with mitigation measures that are to be employed either to reduce or completely eradicate the impacts. indiscriminate waste disposal resulting in land pollution and possible fire hazards because cooking is done in small unventilated structures. mainly attributed by an acute shortage of residential accommodation and higher residential rentals. As such it is not envisaged that any environmental impacts will occur as a result of the preparation of an EIA.4.4 FRAMEWORK FOR STRATEGIC ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT One of the pillars of Vision 2016 is prosperity. Objective 4: To control veld fires by grading fire breaks every six months until the end of the plan period. the vision has emphasized the need to preserve the environment in the process of development. Objective 3: To carry out litter picking campaigns every six months until the end of the plan period and erect billboards which sensitise the public on the dangers of litter. The erection of billboards might involve the clearing of the site within which the billboard is going to be erected. Because the objective is to eradicate squatting not many and not serious environmental impacts are anticipated. As such the environmental impacts might include cutting of vegetation and the resultant loss of flora and fauna. Objective 6: To rehabilitate all existing burrow pits by December 2006. The UDP II set goals and objectives and the policies and programmes that the Jwaneng Township has come up with to improve the livelihood of the community might possibly have negative impacts on the environment such that in trying to solve problems several other ones might be created as a result. economically and environmentally sustainable. 27 . tuberculosis. productivity and innovation. Squatting itself has many environmental impacts some of which are overcrowding resulting in rapid spread of communicable diseases. for example.1 Evaluation of Environmental Key Issues with Sector Goals and Objectives Objective 1: To undertake an Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) for every major development project in Jwaneng until the end of the plan period. 5 PROPOSED ENVIRONMENTAL STRATEGIES IMPLEMENT URBAN ENVIRONMENTAL PROGRAMS Town Environmental Action Program Activity/Project Continue to engage private contractors as and when necessary Increase the number of skips so that each environmental unit has some skips Information.1 Environmental concern Garden Waste Littering Nil Nil Indiscriminate dumping of building rubble Mushrooming of borrow pits as a result of extraction of gravel and pit sand for construction Veldfires Nil Nil Loss of biodiversity Wildlife mortality Preparation of an EIA Clearance vegetation of Plant the shrubs and the trees out of the way of the fire break Nil Squatters Nil 4.6.

In order to facilitate the implementation of this strategic objective. The department also provides guidance and professional support to physical planners in local authorities in all matters related to the preparation.3 Consultation Priorities The following are some of the consultation priorities as regards land use planning in Jwaneng: Indiscriminate collection of sand and gravel as a result of the construction boom has resulted in open burrow pits. Non-observance of development covenants – As seen earlier. One of the priorities therefore of this development plan would be to prepare a comprehensive management plan for collection of resources such as sand and gravel.1. From a survey conducted in February 2002. the population of the squatter camp was found to be 1426 with 475 households. 5. Most of the people who are squatting at the industrial area were initially renting rooms in SHHA areas in Jwaneng. The existence of the squatter camp.

The preparation of the Jwaneng development plan is long overdue. A development plan in particular defines sites for proposed roads. in any planning area (Jwaneng inclusive) the minister submits a development plan consisting of a report of survey together with a plan indicating the manner in which he proposes that the land in the planning area may be used and the stages by which any such developments may be carried out. it is worrying that the only major economic activity is the mining industry.3 Physical Development Plans Section 6 of the Town and Country Planning Act provides that. which is chaired by the Physical Planner with the Senior Technical Officer as the secretary. It is therefore worth mentioning that Jwaneng does not have a development plan. peruses plans for planning and building permission before making recommendations to the Town Planning Committee.3 LAND USE PLANNING SECTOR GOALS AND OBJECTIVES Based on consultation priorities and assessment of issues in the district. forestry. airfields.

NDB and CEDA offer services to the Jwaneng community through their offices in Kanye.1 INTRODUCTION The Ministries of Trade and Industry and that of Environment. The shortage of manpower in the district to support and advice entrepreneurs is also a problem.2 Role of the Private Sector There are a number of agencies and parastatal organisations under these ministries which play a vital role in business activities. The Citizen Entrepreneurial Development Agency (CEDA) also assists business enterprises in Jwaneng through its office in Kanye 8.1 Strategic Plans for other Ministries Ministry Finance and Development Planning Trade. To facilitate the availability infrastructure and services of industry specific Speedy and efficient land allocation and management. and Tourism. 8. Wildlife. Industry. To ensure development of viable and sustainable citizen owned business enterprises. The absence of these presents constraints to existing and potential entrepreneurs. The need to establish a CEDA office in Jwaneng to service the township and surrounding villages has also been expressed. these are the Botswana Development Corporation Limited (financing industrial development projects). Botswana Export Development and Investment Authority (inward/outward investment promotion). Wildlife and Tourism Lands and Housing CEDA Local Government Strategic goals To ensure efficient and sound economic management. Several departments hold key responsibilities to this end: Department of Industrial Affairs. In Jwaneng. The private sector also provides tourism facilities though at a very low rate (For example.3 Consultation Priorities Lack of serviced land. Department of Trade and Consumer Affairs.1. WILDLIFE AND TOURISM 8. INDUSTRY. 54 .CHAPTER EIGHT 8 TRADE. The objective on economic diversification cannot be realized because of a shortage of industrial and commercial plots. which provide support services to business ventures.

Registrar of Companies as well as Department of Tourism and Department of Wildlife and National Parks.1. ??have a role to facilitate the diversification and expansion of Botswana‟s economy in line with Vision 2016. and National Development Bank (NDB) and the Citizen Empowerment Development Agency (CEDA) both of which provide finance in terms of loans. 8.2 NATIONAL POLICIES AND LEGISLATION 8.2.1 Industrial Development Policy The main emphasis of the policy is on diversification of the industrial base. Its objective is to encourage a highly productive and efficient export industry, which emphasizes utilization of local natural resources. It is on this basis that the potential of leather products needs to be enhanced. There is a local Council abattoir in Jwaneng where people can source skin / hides. 8.2.2 Financial Assistance Policy (FAP) and Small, Medium and Micro Enterprises Policy (SMME) The main objectives of the policies at district level were: To foster citizen entrepreneurship and empowerment To promote exports oriented manufacturing sector To achieve economic diversification To encourage the development of a competitive and sustainable business community. However, to foster efficient cost recovery measures, these two policies have been replaced by CEDA. It must be noted that FAP was 90% grant, while SMME offered loans at 15% interest rate. The rate of defaulting cases was high due to lack of a proper monitoring systems. There are currently 23 industries that are operational in Jwaneng that were financed by FAP and SMME. 8.2.3 Citizen Entrepreneurship Development Agency (CEDA) CEDA is an agency for the development of viable, sustainable citizen owned business enterprises. It provides financial assistance in the form of loans at subsidized interest rates. Through CEDA one can get a loan from P500 to P150 000 at a 5% interest rate per annum and P150 001 to P2 million at 7% per annum. Citizens aged 18 years and over qualify for such loans. One can fund expansion of an existing business or a totally new business venture. There is a CEDA office based in Kanye that assists the district‟s prospective entrepreneurs with financial assistance for viable and sustainable proposals. 8.2.4 Consumer Protection Act The aim of this legislation is to provide protection and support to consumers by means of investigation, prohibition and control of unfair business practices. During UDP2 the district will continue its education campaign on consumer rights and promotion of formation of consumer groups as well as mediation in consumer complaints through the Department of Consumer Affairs, which is mandated to do so. There is an office at Kanye that also covers Jwaneng. 8.2.5 The National Licensing Act It empowers the National Licensing Authority to issue licenses for certain trading activities. This Act is however under review. Licensing helps to ensure that health and safety standards are met, prevents illegal aliens from establishing businesses and provides an opportunity to gauge the magnitude of the manufacturing sector, including other important attributes such as employment, level of exports and type of product. 55 8.2.6 Tourism Policy The general objective of the policy is to obtain, on a sustainable basis, the greatest possible net social and economic benefits for Botswana from their tourism resources, scenic beauty, wildlife and unique ecological, geological and cultural characteristics. Specifically it aims to: Increase foreign exchange earnings Generate employment, mainly in rural areas Raise income in rural areas to reduce urban drift Generally promote rural development and to stimulate service provision in remote areas. There is nothing definite planned for tourism in this plan period. However, the Jwaneng Town Council is exploring the possibility of developing an amusement park during the plan period as a way of promoting tourism in the township. 8.2.7 Tourism Enterprise Licensing The requirement is that any tourism enterprise to operate, it should be licensed. There are four broad categories of tourism enterprises as shown in Table 8.1. Their ownership status is also indicated. Table 8.1 Category Definition Tourism Enterprises and Ownership Status Ownership Status in Jwaneng Town Citizen 0 2 Non Citizen 0 0 Joint 0 1 Unknown 0 0 Total 00 3 A B Operations that offer facilities only on site such as hotel, motels, guesthouses, & apartments Operations that offer facilities on and off site such as tourist Camps, lodges, caravans, hunting camps and tented tourist Camps which operate tours that require the services of professional hunters Operations that offer facilities off site only, such as Safari or tour operators and any enterprises that receives and transport travellers and guests Operations that act as agents only, such as travel agents. C 0 0 0 0 0 D Total 0 2 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 3 Source: Tourism Office Gaborone, 2003 It should also be noted that the Trans Kalahari highway forms part of tourism as the town benefits from tourists going through to Namibia when they stop overnight for lodging in Jwaneng. 8.2.8 Wildlife Conservation Policy, 1986 The aim of this policy is to encourage long-term commercial development of the wildlife industry, in order to create economic opportunities, jobs and incomes for the rural population in particular and the nation at large for them to appreciate and conserve wildlife and other resources. There is a lot of wildlife within the planning area, which the town is not directly 56 benefiting from, as the parks are owned by Debswana. The species include giraffe, baboons, springbok, hyena, heart-beast and kudu. 8.2.9 Wildlife Conservation and National Parks Act, 1992 The Act provides for conservation and management of the wildlife of Botswana; giving effect to CITES and any other international convention for the protection of fauna and flora to which Botswana is, from time to time, a party. It also provides for the establishment, control and management of National Parks, Game Reserves, and for matters incidental thereto or connected therewith. The Parks available in the planning area are owned by Debswana, and these are Tholo and Jwana Parks. The parks are used for mine employees‟ refreshments, camping facilities by everybody and for conservation, environmental and educational purposes by schools. 8.2.10 Community Based Natural Resources Management (CBNRM) Policy The CBNRM policy which is in draft form, aims at improving the conservation of Botswana‟s resources, enhance economic and social development in rural areas and to provide opportunities for community participation and capacity building regarding natural resource management of forest resources, national parks and game reserves. Currently, there is nothing for CBNRM within the planning area. 8.3 TRADE AND INDUSTRY 8.3.1 Trade and Industry Trade in the district is largely retail-based, with only one wholesale outlet. More needs to be done to attract more investors to the township to make it an attractive investment location for industrial and commercial development. The ongoing construction of a shopping complex will offer consumers a wide choice of goods and services. Industrial activity is limited to small-scale enterprises and the full potential of industrial development in the district has not been adequately explored. 8.3.2 CEDA The Government has introduced CEDA to encourage citizens to undertake industry related activities after the phasing out of FAP. CEDA was established as a result of the recommendations from the National Conference on Citizen Economic Empowerment and 4th evaluation of FAP. Unlike FAP, CEDA will be providing loans to all forms of businesses. CEDA focuses specifically on the development of viable, sustainable citizen owned businesses, through the development of an access to entrepreneurial and management skills, training, monitoring and mentoring, provision of finance and sharing of risks. The scheme will assist small, medium and large-scale enterprises. Promoters are encouraged to contribute something towards the project cost as equity or owner‟s contribution to share the risk. CEDA emphasises fostering citizen entrepreneurship and empowerment to achieve economic diversification in line with the National Development Plan 9 and create sustainable employment opportunities. The CEDA office in Kanye assists the township‟s potential entrepreneurs with finance for viable, sustainable citizen owned businesses 57 5.

There was an outcry that contractors are not adequately supervised and this results in cost overruns and poor workmanship. The construction of an Integrated Office Block and a public library were given as examples of projects which were never implemented during NDP 8/UDP 1. Poor workmanship by contractors.4 The role of the private sector The private sector also plays a major role in the provision of Works. The community is also educated and informed about road safety measures with a view to reducing road accidents in Jwaneng. which are the second cause of death in Jwaneng.2 Strategic plans for respective ministries Table 13.3 Alignment to Vision 2016 Safe and secure nation Road safety is one of the components of building a safe and secure nation where the road worthiness of public transport is checked.

The Department of Transport and Road Safety was recently established in the Jwaneng planning area.6 Central Transport Organisation (CTO) The department will continue to enhance private sector participation hiving off some of its services like vehicles maintenance to the private sector.4 Postal Services Postal Services still play a role in maintaining communication links between communities. the Botswana Postal Services has performed badly over the past year. As the process of changing the organisational structure of the service is still ongoing. The consultant has come up with a 20-year master plan for upgrading roads and storm water drains in the township and it is hoped that the recommendations of the report will be implemented during the plan period. which are prevalent in the country in general.3. Planned activities have been put on hold. which are revisited and then updated annually. 115 . 13. in order to achieve effective service delivery.3 Transport and Road Safety One of the pillars of vision 2016 is a “Safe and Secure Nation”. which is expected to be completed before the end of financial year 2003/2004 13. based on the performance of the previous year. The postal services have an office in Jwaneng However. the Botswana Postal Services will embark on rolling plans. There are no CTO services in Jwaneng except a fuel point and all other services are offered by Lobatse CTO branch and the private sector. A report has been submitted to the Council for implementation of its approved recommendations. The pillar envisages a situation where the national road network will be safe for people to use thereby creating a safe environment for travelling and investment in Botswana. To update the network and address problems of clogging of storm water drains during rainy seasons council engaged a consultant during UDP I to do a Pavement Management Study for the entire road network within the township. There are no major projects under the central government Roads Department except the ongoing upgrading of the Jwaneng – Sekoma road. This means that the Botswana Postal Service holistic approach to service delivery might change thereby changing the projects and strategies. and the town in particular.road network under the Jwaneng Town Council is 84 kilometres. The department aims to improve road safety within the town and to reduce road accidents. The department therefore aims at providing a safe and secure transport service during the plan period to meet the needs of Botswana and the SADC community. with the assistance of the Head Office personnel where necessary and also supervise development works in the township. law enforcement.

Disasters of this nature can seriously disrupt the process of development hence their recognition by government and the need for a more coordinated management of drought and other forms of disaster. By nature. At national level.1 Disaster Relief Sector Priorities In its long-term vision for the country. any form of disaster disrupts the normal way of life of society as it is sudden and causes damage to property. At the local level. just and caring nation. To improve the town‟s disaster planning preparedness and mitigation.1 INTRODUCTION Botswana is prone to various types of disasters. The role of the private sector in disaster management in terms of relief interventions and contribution to food security cannot be over emphasised. principally drought. 145 . which can immediately be used by districts in times of disaster. Organise and administer emergency relief interventions Produce a disaster plan for the town and surrounding areas and Coordinate its implementation Advocate for the establishment of a Disaster Fund by government. all stakeholders in disaster management including the private sector and non-governmental organisation will participate. Time is of essence in any disaster situation and such a fund will speed up the Disaster Preparedness Committee‟s response time and assist in speeding up recovery efforts.2 The role of the Private Sector Once the Disaster Preparedness Committee is revived. the responsibility for disaster management lies with the District Disaster Preparedness Committee headed by the District Officer and Town Clerk under the Ministry of Local Government. 16. iii. the National Disaster Management Office (NDMO) under the Office of the President is responsible for leading and coordinating disaster planning. that is. The Committee‟s main responsibility will be among others to: i. preparedness. epidemics and floods do occur. In the context of Jwaneng. road accidents and to a small extent mine accidents. On an irregular basis. 16.CHAPTER SIXTEEN 16 CONTINGENCY PLANNING 16. In Jwaneng the most common type of disaster is fire outbreaks.1. which has become a cyclical phenomenon in the country.1. infrastructure and sometimes. build a compassionate. The committee will coordinate efforts of various stakeholders. it is mostly veld fires that occur annually in areas surrounding the township. Responses to these disasters should be as far as possible be planned in advance and be ready for implementation in the event that the need arises. community based organisations. ii. the District Disaster Management Committee will be responsible for disaster management and relief interventions.1. destitution and assistance to needy students. Experience has shown that outbreaks of veld fires are a common form of disaster in the district.16. private sector.1 National Disaster Management Plan The National Policy on Disaster Management provides the framework for the National Disaster Management Plan. The Department of Crop Production and Forestry will continue to encourage production of vegetables in back yards and institutional gardens for domestic consumption to increase household food security.2. Disaster management is the responsibility of every citizen and institution in the country. the private sector and non-governmental organizations. Assurance of household food security is availability through national food imports and production.2 National Food Security Strategy The National Food Strategy lays down the framework within which the national and household food and economic security processes and activities are to be carried out.3 CONTINGENCY PLANS As outlined at 16. Educational campaigns – call Kgotla meeting and organise workshops to sensitise people on how to prevent and fight veld fires. 16. Regarding food security. In the event of a disaster the committee has agreed that the operation centre will be the Civic Centre where all logistics and resource requirements will be mobilised.2 NATIONAL POLICIES AND LEGISLATION 16.1. The Agricultural Resources Board under the Ministry of Agriculture will continue in conjunction with the Disaster Committee to undertake the following: i. home based care. Efficient and cost effective disaster management will be based on the mobilization of existing government structures and resources in collaboration with communities. The scope of the strategy is as follows: Providing economic access to food for household by attainment of a broadbased income security. These programmes include orphan care. Within the scope of this strategy. Within the context of Jwaneng. the Jwaneng Town Council will continue to implement programmes designed for certain vulnerable groups in order to get maximum intended benefits from the programmes. Coordinated efforts in handling all forms of disaster in the district will be spearheaded by the Disaster Committee.2. and household in the availability and access to nutritionally safe and adequate food.1. extreme weather and road accidents. though they may be others like foods. 16. there will be joint responsibility reflecting the partnership of Government. The two policies raise issues of coordinated disaster management and household food security. 146 . the District Preparedness committee will coordinate disaster management as outline at 16. Integrated and coordinated disaster management is based on partnerships and cooperation amongst all government sectors.1. existing government structures and resources in collaboration with communities. In Jwaneng. Relief interventions are coordinated by the District Disaster Preparedness Committee at the local level. iv.ii. Non Governmental Organisations and private sector will be mobilized.4 FRAMEWORK ASSESSMENT FOR STRATEGIC ENVIRONMENTAL The use of fire engines. Provision of storm water drainage in town especially in prone areas. Fire management training – conduct in-house training of Council and central government employees in handling of fire fighting equipment. extinguishers and hand sprayers. In the event of any disaster. iii. Provide the necessary fire fighting equipment like fire engines. the most common type of disaster is fire outbreaks and these are handled by the Council Fire Department. 147 . The private sector and nongovernmental organizations will also be mobilized by the Disaster Committee to actively participate in disaster preparedness and management activities. which has the overall responsibility of monitoring relief measures with financial assistance from the National Disaster Management office. 16. which may lead to sol erosion Loss of biodiversity Noise and dust pollution from fire engines 16.5 RESOURCE REQUIREMENTS FOR UDP2 Resources for contingency planning are sourced from within individual departmental budgets. There is also a centralized disaster fund established by government. extinguishers and provision of storm water drainage will have the following environmental impacts: Loss of vegetation. CHAPTER SEVENTEEN 17 PLAN MONITORING AND EVALUATION 17.1 INTRODUCTION Structural arrangements in the form of functional institutions responsible for the formulation and implementation of the UDP2 are already in place. The overall responsibility for all aspects of the UDP lies with the Urban Development Committee (UDC). The principal functions of the UDC are: To serve as a planning body for the town To coordinate the work of various central and local government agencies To prepare and oversee the implementation of the UDP The Plan Management Committee, a Sub Committee of the UDC, will be responsible for the general management of the plan. This sub committee has not been in existence in Jwaneng and efforts will be made during UDP 2 plan period to establish this sub committee, which is a core group decision oriented with the primary responsibility of managing the plan. 17.2 ENVIRONMENTAL MONITORING ACTIVITIES There will be need to identify environmentally sensitive areas and reduce activities that will be harmful to the environment during the plan period in an effort to protect and preserve the environment. Upgrading of low-income areas, which started in 1999 has addressed the problem of the use of pit latrines, which has potential for polluting underground water resources. The proposed servicing of EU 8 and 9 will make provision for sewer lines, which will eliminate the use of pit latrines. The ongoing study on establishment of a borrow pit for pit sand excavation will also address the problem of indiscriminate digging of pit sand in town. 17.3 FINANCIAL AND PERSONNEL CONSTRAINTS The world economic slow down has had a negative impact on Botswana‟ economy. As we enter a period of budgetary constraints, there is a need to reprioritise our expenditure programme (recurrent and development) and even prioritise among projects within priority sectors. This means scaling down our project proposals to be in line with what the ceiling can accommodate for UDP 2 plan period. The implications for the implementation of the plan would be that: i. Development expenditure at district level will decline from relatively high levels of funding which characterized the first years of UDP1 /NDP8. Ministerial Planners, responding to signals from MFDP may increase restrictions on projects already underway or request districts to scale them down. ii. Projects implemented by local authorities have changed significantly in terms of scope and nature. This increase in projects far exceeds the increase in the local authorities‟ 148 establishment, especially in the professional and technical fields. This problem is compounded by the high rate of resignations of professionals and technicians and this has a negative impact on plan implementation. It does not appear like the situation will improve during UDP2 unless government introduces measures aimed at attracting and retaining officers in the local authorities. 17.4 PROPOSED PLAN MONITORING ACTIVITIES DURING UDP2 The Urban Development Plan already has an implementation schedule in that all planned projects have been phased according to financial years. Annual Plans will also be prepared every year in March showing projects that will be implemented during the coming year. The plans will also indicate expected commencement and completion dates. This will facilitate follow up and user departments will liase with the implementing agency or department to address any implementation bottlenecks that may arise. Monitoring will further be improved through regular progress reporting to the Urban Development Committee, the Plan Management Committee and Jwaneng Town Council meetings. 149 APPENDIX A: URBAN DEVELOPMENT PLANNING MATRIX The Urban – Ministry Matrix is comprised of spreadsheets designed to show the details of UDP II/NDP IX financial allocations of each project, from each ministry to each town. It is a detailed breakdown of the NDP IX financial allocations by town, disaggregated both by components of specific projects, and where possible into the six annual phases of the plan period. The matrix data contained in the spreadsheets is at two levels: Ministry allocations per town for all relevant projects Urban allocations within particular projects by component and annual phasing, where applicable, over the six-year plan period. The purposes of these matrices is to enable the town and ministry planners and project managers to negotiate at a more detailed and specific level about the allocation of funds for the different projects in each Urban Development Plan. The matrices also provide an effective reference document for all projects and components during the implementation and monitoring stages of the plan period. All users of the plan can therefore quickly and easily see the agreed amount of project funding for al the agreed amount of project funding for all projects at the start of the plan period. It has not been possible to get a full set of data on the dis-aggregation of some central government projects by component and phased over the six-year plan period. This data was only available for projects implemented by the town itself under the Ministry of Local Government and sporadically for a few ministries. The matrices in this plan are directly linked to the national matrices; therefore every effort has been made to ensure that the data in the urban matrices is accurate based on the inputs from the ministries and towns. 150 00 151 .P139157000 BUDGET ALLOCATIONS IN P'000 PROJECT TITLE LG 104 Fleet Development LG 901 Customary Courts LG 1102 Facilities Primary Education 2003/04 800 3611 5650 2750 5930 2000 1700 81 50 200 18000 37072 81 40 1568 12000 27900 81 50 168 6912 10351 9385 1801 81 40 1314 18340 26537 81 50 81 66 3611 8600 2050 150 2750 3000 1430 5830 220 2000 2004/05 2005/06 940 2006/07 500 2007/08 240 2008/09 UDP TEC 2480 7222 26310 6120 9930 1700 486 296 3250 55252 113046 II NDP TEC 307000 201800 1444800 41300 274800 416100 69800 61900 247000 621000 3685500 9 LG 1103 Recreation Facilities LG 1104 Primary Health Facilities LG 1105 Centres Rural Administration LG 1107 Labour Intensive Public Works LG 1109 Community Projects LG 1112 Municipal Services LG 1113 Urban Land Servicing TOTAL MINSTRY OF AGRICULTURE Total estimated cost for Jwaneng Projects .MINISTRY OF LOCAL GOVERNMENT TOTAL ESTIMATED COST .P3247668.
