Debswana, a 50/50 joint venture between the Government of Botswana and De Beers, is Botswana’s leading diamond mining company. Established in 1969, it has driven the country’s economic growth, making Botswana one of the world’s top diamond producers.
The company operates major mines including Jwaneng, “the richest diamond mine in the world,” and Orapa, one of the largest and oldest. These mines are central to Botswana’s GDP and global reputation for high-quality diamonds.
Debswana stands out for its commitment to sustainable development. Revenue from diamond sales is reinvested in infrastructure, healthcare, education, and employment, benefiting local communities. Environmental programs focus on minimizing impact and rehabilitating mined areas.
Through responsible mining and social initiatives, Debswana has transformed Botswana from a poor nation in the 1960s into a middle-income country, setting an example of how natural resources can support economic growth and social progress.
