“The events of BIDPA’s second year have underlined that our Institute is “coming of age”: Several projects come to their conclusion, most of them with good results. “BIDPA” has not yet become a household concept in Botswana, but is on the way to doing so. On the international scene, the knowledge of our existence is underlined by some 300 ”hits” per month on our web site, by invitations to participate in projects with international organisations and by a steady stream of visitors from abroad. Administratively, the organisation has now taken form and functions well.”
