AGP Executive Report

Last update: 3 hours ago

Polio pushback: Botswana’s Ministry of Health is calming fears and countering social-media conspiracies after a nationwide door-to-door oral polio campaign for children aged 0–59 months, stressing it’s an emergency boost against Type 2 poliovirus—not a replacement for routine vaccines. Regional health diplomacy: The wider news flow also shows how public trust and protection measures are being tested across borders, from UN-linked humanitarian disruptions in Ukraine to scaled-up aid for displaced families in South Sudan. Environment for health: A major rangeland restoration effort is underway as nearly half of Botswana’s land shows ecological stress, aiming to protect rural livelihoods and long-term resilience. Governance and costs: A fresh Auditor General report alleges hundreds of millions of pula from COVID-19 funds were spent on non-COVID activities, including parties and retreats. Sports spotlight: Botswana’s Kethobogile Haingura earned second in the Diamond League 800m in Shanghai, behind Mark English.
