Built on the Botswana programme
Since 2023, with support from a Ford Foundation grant, Anthropos has been building a regional secretariat to provide legal, financial, strategic, technical and administrative support to San CBOs, and working with communities, partners and governments to expand land rights and opportunities for indigenous communities.
The Botswana Indigenous Rights Programme is closely aligned with these ambitions and serves as the foundation for these two core programmes. The four-year reform window — the Inter-Ministerial Committee process, the National Indigenous Peoples Policy, the National Land Audit, the CKGR restoration — is the gateway to this work, not the destination.
