INTRODUCTION botswana signed the membership to the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) on 21st March 1987. FAO is the UN technical agency with the mandate for developing partnership in food security, natural resources management, agricultural and rural development.

7 Its vision is A world free from hunger and malnutrition where food and agriculture contribute to improving the living standards of all, especially the poorest, in an economically, socially and environmentally sustainable manner . FAO has been providing unabated support to botswana in the formulation and implementation of policies, strategies, programmes and projects in food, agriculture and natural resources aimed at improving food security and nutrition in a broad-based, equitable and sustainable manner and reducing poverty. In providing this assistance, FAO has always focused on enhancing the livelihood of smallholders, who form the bulk of the rural poor, in a way that is technically sound and economically, socially and environmentally sustainable.

8 In particular, FAO assistance has been given to the GoB in the areas of agricultural support systems; emergency response operations; investment and policy frameworks; capacity building; and provision of equipment and supplies. These interventions have taken place during a period of dramatic changes in the economic landscape. Since 1965, starting with the Transitional Plan for Economic Development, botswana has had a series of its National Development Plans which outline short to medium-term development initiatives for botswana . A Mid-Term Review is conducted during the Plan s period to review progress and, where necessary, to make adjustments to reflect more recent circumstances.

9 The ninth National Development Plan (NDP 9) covered the period from 1 April 2003 to 31 March NDP 9 preparation was guided by the nation s principles of rapid economic growth, social justice, economic independence and sustained development, in pursuant of Vision 2016, adopted as an additional principle (NDP 9, 2002).The current 10th National Development Plan (NDP 10) covers the period from 2009 to 2016. This NDP 10 as well as the Common Country Assessment, Vision 2016, UNDAF, lessons learned from past cooperation between FAO and the GoB and extensive consultations served as the basis for identification of the CPF priority areas.

10 This CPF defines the GoB FAO mutually agreed development priorities requiring FAO technical assistance for the period 2014-2016. ANALYSIS Country Profile botswana is located in the southern African plateau at a mean elevation of 1000 meters and covers an area of 572,000 km2, and has a semi-arid climate, with highly variable rainfall incidence, both spatially and temporally, with common dry spells during the cropping season. The annual average precipitation is the highest in the extreme north with 700 mm per year, falling to 400 mm in the east, with the lowest of 200 mm per year in the extreme southwest.
