This study explores Botswana’’s experience with public-private dialogue and identifies key tips and principles that have facilitated democratic dialogue in Botswana. It is of particular interest since the Botswana Confederation of Commerce, Industry, and Manpower (BOCCIM) is one of Africa’s most successful national business federations. BOCCIM’s success stems in large part from its commitment to constructive dialogue with the government.
