Today marks an exciting milestone for journalism, media advocacy and civic engagement in Botswana.
The University of Botswana (UB) and MISA Botswana officially entered into a strategic partnership with the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) this morning. The agreement was signed by University of Botswana Vice Chancellor Professor David Norris and MISA Botswana Acting National Director, Boitumelo Kgalushi, reaffirming the commitment of both institutions to work together in advancing media development, research, innovation, digital literacy and capacity building.
The partnership is expected to create new opportunities for students, academics, journalists and media practitioners through collaborative programmes, research initiatives, knowledge exchange, internships, training and projects that strengthen Botswana's media and information landscape.
Together, UB and MISA Botswana are building stronger bridges between academia and industry to empower the next generation of media professionals and contribute to a more informed, inclusive, and digitally resilient society.
Congratulations to both institutions on this significant achievement. We look forward to the positive impact this partnership will have on Botswana's media and communication sector.
