Sport for All: Investing in Active Futures

Rooted in Botswana’s National Vision 2036 and global frameworks such as the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), TAFISA Mission 2030, the WHO Global Action Plan on Physical Activity (GAPPA), UNESCO Fit for Life, and the African Union Agenda 2063, the theme reflects a shared commitment to creating active societies where every individual has the opportunity to participate, thrive, and contribute. At the national level, it aligns closely with the Botswana Economic Transformation Programme (BETP), which recognise human capital development, innovation, inclusion, and productivity as key drivers of long-term prosperity.
