Richard Malikongwa is the Regional Director of the
Institute of Development Management, which was established in 1974 to help meet
the management needs of the Botswana, Lesotho, and Swaziland region. Prior to joining IDM, Richard was the Human
Resources Director at Barclays Bank of Botswana and oversaw the bank’s
operations in Botswana.
In this edition of CIBER Focus, Richard offers an overview of the development of
Botswana, investment opportunities, and the work the Institute of Development Management is doing
regionally. Botswana is heralded as a success story of development in Sub-Saharan Africa despite a lack of resources due to its history of democracy, well-crafted policy, and high ranking on a number of development indicators.
