Botswana just like any other country has formed a platform to drive her economic growth and improve the living standard of her people. This platform is called "the Botswana's Vision 2016." It has set some strategic goals which Batswana aspires to have achieved by the year 2016. These goals are seven and are:
1) An educated and informed nation.
2) A compassionate, just and caring nation.
3)A prosperous,productive and innovative nation.
4) A safe and secure nation.
5) An open democratic and accountable nation.
6)A moral and tolerant nation.
7) A united and proud nation.
Since the establishment of these pillars Botswana has shown a dramatic change in economic intersfication. These results were shown by the suverys from the Central statistics Office which showed that "Botswana has received an inrease in the gross domestic product of 5.8% in the third quarter of the year 2011 ending December." The surveys also showed that this 5.8% growth was an increase of 3.6% compared to the second quarter of the same year of 2011. This is an indication that these pillars are making a positive improvement in the economy of the country.
How ever, I still believe that there is much to be done about these pillars in order to achieve our goal. There are certain changes that I consider the government should revolutionize in order to attain our vision goal. Much consideration needs to be given to improving education, reaching marginalized populations and building strong national education systems. For us to be educated and informed, I recommend a collaboration of multi-cultural languages in our eduaction system to be a way forward to embrace our cultures, be informed and learn with ease. There should be a policy which enforces monitoring of institutions. The policy should make sure that all children have access to safe, adequately equiped space toreceive an education, with skilled teachers. Also, the policy should enforce the availability of teachers, and development of teachers to meet areas of need, teachers constitutes the key to a barriers to achievement for education of all goals.

Again, the government should establish a frame work to design a macro-productivity policy which will include; removing barriers to frim growth and competition, further reduction of regulatory burden, improved immigration policy and inversting on education, training and apprenticeship. And removing work-disencentives will be an added advantage for us to be a productive, prosperous and innovative nation.seek out, nurture, evaluate and support scalling up of innovation. The government should seek ways to improve the manner in which the successful innovations are being evaluated, promulgated and scaled-up, appropriately. This will act as a motivation to the people and more innovations will be hatched. Inviting well established companies to come and feed the local people, employees, and businesses with information and employing experts from abroad will aslo add value to our country's production that we acn be proud of. The government should encourage people to learn from what the best companies are doing.
Inversting in a healthy working environment should also be a culture to endure to support better performance, productivity and innovations, we know healthy work place help recruitment and retention of tslent. Mentoring and enhancing communication skills, opening and eliminating all barriers to communication centers will help achieve a democratic, open and accountable nation. Decentralization of decision making and law-reform structure should also be a consideration, we can on the job. Equal distribution of developments (between rural and urban areas and wealth (between the rich and poor people) will aslo be a way forward to celebrate for.
