Utilising tourism potential in combating the spread of HIV/AIDS through poverty alleviation in rural areas of Botswana

Tourism is an important economic activity in Botswana and it has the potential to alleviate poverty in the country. Many people living in rural areas of Botswana including areas in which tourism activities are taking place live in poverty. People living in poverty are often vulnerable to HIV/AIDS and Botswana is one of the countries reported to have the highest prevalence of HIV/AIDS in the world. Tourism has the potential to combat poverty because it creates employment, earns foreign exchange, attracts foreign investment and contributes to Gross Domestic Product (GDP). This research is based on both primary and secondary information. The primary information is obtained from survey conducted in Maun, whereas the secondary information is obtained from literature review of published journal papers. This paper analyses the potential of tourism in contributing towards poverty alleviation from a collaborative approach. Tourism is a viable sector in minimising the spread of HIV/AIDS and in combating poverty. This paper concludes that tourism has the potential to alleviate poverty among people living in poverty in rural areas of Botswana. This paper also concludes that poverty alleviation is imperative in the fight against HIV/AIDS. Key words: Tourism, prevalence, impact, poverty, HIV/AIDS.

The Lisbon Strategy: Which failure? Whose failure? And why? Egmont European Affairs Program Paper, March 2006

Pessimistic comments are crowding the medias about the failure of the Lisbon strategy. At the end of 2004, the latest Kok group's report has emphasized "the failure of the Lisbon strategy". There is now a debate about the remodeling or the rationalization of the strategy. Before taking decisions, it would be opportune to organize a reflection about the extent of the failure and its causes. Otherwise any reform runs the risk of being not adapted or even counterproductive. Different questions must be examined : what is the real competitiveness problem ? is there a real need of an EU initiative ? do the different characteristics of the approach chosen in 2000 make sense
