Delegation of the European Union - Gaborone - Botswana

The Delegation of the European Union to the Republic of Botswana plays a crucial role in managing official relations between the European Union (EU) and Botswana. These relations are conducted within the framework of the Cotonou Agreement, a significant global pact signed in 2000 between the EU and the African, Caribbean, and Pacific Group of States (ACP countries), which includes Botswana.

Three Pillars of the Cotonou Agreement:

1. Political Dimension: This pillar focuses on political dialogue, peace, security, human rights, democracy, and good governance. The EU and Botswana collaborate to promote stability and shared values.
2. Economic and Trade Cooperation: Under this pillar, the EU and Botswana engage in economic cooperation, supporting economic growth, sustainable development, and trade relations.
3. Technical and Financial Cooperation: This pillar involves technical assistance and financial support, funding development projects, capacity building, and initiatives addressing poverty, healthcare, education, and sustainability.

The Cotonou Agreement serves as a comprehensive framework for cooperation, strengthening ties between the EU and Botswana. It’s not just about diplomacy; it’s about working together to achieve common goals and improve the well-being of both parties.
