Abstract
Description
This paper aims at examining critically the link between economic diversification and
poverty eradication processes and the implied assumptions. It first examines the link
theoreticallybefore testing it against Botswana s actual experience. It has been shown
theoretically and empirically that the country is still very far from the vision s goal of
diversifYing the economy and eradicating absolute poverty by 2016. The article concludes
by spelling out policy recommendations for further diversification and poverty
alleviation.
