BotswanaFormerly the British protectorate of Bechuanaland, Botswana adopted
its new name upon independence in 1966. More than four decades of uninterrupted
civilian leadership, progressive social policies, and significant capital
investment have created one of the most stable economies in Africa. Mineral
extraction, principally diamond mining, dominates economic activity, though
tourism is a growing sector due to the country's conservation practices and
extensive nature preserves. Botswana has one of the world''s highest known
rates of HIV/AIDS infection, but also one of Africa''s most progressive and
comprehensive programs for dealing with the disease. For more information about Botswana: https://www.cia.gov/library/publications/the-world-factbook/index.html |
