are invited to participate, share insights, and help shape a credible, future-ready ICT profession for Botswana
The Botswana Information Technology Society (BITS) is the national professional body for ICT practitioners and organisations in Botswana, established to promote professionalism, ethical practice, and skills development within the ICT sector. BITS provides a platform that brings together government, industry, academia, and ICT professionals to support national digital transformation and policy engagement. The Society advocates for standards, continuous professional development, and credible ICT regulation in the public interest. BITS is also a member association of TICON Africa, aligning Botswana’s ICT profession with regional and continental best practice.
The Botswana Information Technology Society (BITS) is convening national stakeholder consultative meetings to shape Botswana’s ICT Professional Self-Regulation Framework. These engagements bring together government, industry, academia, regulators, employers, and ICT practitioners to validate proposed standards, ethics, professional practice, and accountability mechanisms for the ICT sector. The consultations aim to ensure that the framework is inclusive, locally relevant, and aligned with national development priorities and global best practice. Inputs gathered will directly inform the final policy and legislative proposals that define the future of ICT professionalism in Botswana. This process strengthens trust, protects the public interest, and elevates ICT as a regulated and respected profession.
