f) Establish an up-to-date, efficient and accessible land information centre; and g) Promote compatible and best use of land, and other land resources.35” The Policy also introduces affirmative action measures for vulnerable categories of the society, such as remote areas communities, widows, orphans, youth, and people with disabilities. Furthermore, the Government introduced the Land Administration Procedures and Processes Capacity Building Systems (LAPCAS). The intention of this project is to register all real property in the country. In this regard, both Government and individuals are able to assert citizens’ right to property. This also helps Government to identify people without land. Government also has the following programmes in place which enhance the right to property ownership: a. Self Help Housing Agency (SHHA) scheme is meant for low income earners within the range of P395 -P3, 000 per month across the country. These individuals receive interest free loans to improve their residences or receive complete residential units. b. The Poverty Alleviation and Housing Programme (PAHP) was introduced during National Development Plan 8 to cater for income groups that cannot access loans from financial institutions and fall below SHHA income threshold. So far, this programme has produced One Hundred and Forty – Eight (148) housing units across the country. c. Under the Destitute Housing Programme, Government has constructed One Thousand Seven Hundred and Thirty-Two (1732) decent shelters for the poor since 2008/9. d. The Presidential Housing Appeal has provided Four Hundred and Twenty (420) houses for the needy since its inception in 2009/10. e. All citizens are given equal opportunities to acquire land. The Government also allows all Botswana citizens to apply, wherever they deem suitable, for land, either for residential or commercial purposes. 35 See Botswana Land Policy, 2013, Ministry of Lands and Housing, paragraph 49. 51 | P a g e
