Botswana Sports Conference is a local event with a fuse of international speakers and experts’ event that brings together a range of stakeholders who can promote the Botswana and global sport for Developmental agenda. The concept is birthed to help propagate the approach in the local sport scene, this first edition will be situated strategically in Botswana to promote the use of Sport for development.

The conference will be held in Gaborone on 4 – 5 September 2024, convened by a local sport agency, Fan’Mo Sports Agency. Sport is widely recognised as the future of global markets, with its burgeoning youth population, and its rapid pace of economic and technological growth. This has brought with it the challenges of change management. Governments and the non-government sector continue to seek ways in which to mitigate growing inequities in the accessibility and availability of basic rights and facilities. As evidence in Botswana has shown, there is huge potential for Sport for Development programmes that build on sustainable, scalable models for social change.
