    Description
    The Department of OSH at Ministry of Labour and Home Affairs of Botswana was working on exploring whether and how it would be feasible to replace employer liability provisions with a system of workers’ compensation based on social insurance. As a result of the mobilization of public expertise from Germany, Italy, Spain and Slovenia in the framework of SOCIEUX+, the current national legislation and regulatory framework on workers' compensation was assessed against existing best practice and international standards and guidance and recommendations were provided for updating the current national legislation and regulatory framework, based on feasibility, technical capacity and sustainability considerations.
