A/HRC/40/64/Add.2 participate equally in decision-making processes at the local and national levels. This includes addressing the implementation of the Bogosi Act of 2008 in a transparent manner and ensuring the equal recognition of communities as tribes under that Act, without any discrimination against certain minorities. 86. The Government is encouraged to withdraw the requirement of fluency in English as a qualification for election as a specially elected member of the Ntlo ya Dikgosi or a member of the National Assembly, since it has the potential to disproportionally exclude minorities and others who may instead be fluent in Setswana and their own language, and therefore to set up barriers to their political participation. E. Access to public health care and other public services 87. The Special Rapporteur recommends that public health and other public awareness-raising campaigns be designed and implemented by the Government in minority languages, including sign language, to the degree and in the areas appropriate and in line with the principle of proportionality. 88. In relation to access to public health care and other public services, he urges the Government to continue its efforts to improve service delivery and the implementation of its health and other public services and to review these in the light of persistent claims that non-Tswana minority communities, especially in more remote localities, are disproportionally denied access to such services or have lesser access to them. F. Landownership, development and access to and use of resources 89. Questions and grievances concerning land and resource ownership, access and use were frequently heard during the Special Rapporteur’s visit. He invites the Government to conduct information campaigns, including in the country’s main minority languages outside the Gaborone region, to explain the legal framework, policies and procedures regarding land and resource allocation, access and use, and the corresponding rights and procedures. 90. He further recommends that the eight tribal territories be renamed to reflect a more inclusive or non-ethnically based identity. 91. Botswana is to be commended for its approach to conservation and development, which recognizes the rights of local communities to manage and benefit from the management and use of natural resources through community-based initiatives. The Special Rapporteur invites the Government to further develop capacity in the tourism industry, focusing more on particularly vulnerable and disadvantaged minority communities. 92. While Botswana can be proud of its conservation policies, there remains the need to continuously review these policies and consider the delicate issue of communities located within by national parks and forest reserves such as in Chobe. The Special Rapporteur recommends that a national review be held on the implementation of such policies and programmes to ensure that minority communities are not isolated because roads are closed during certain periods and that they have equal access to State services, such as education, health care and water. 93. The listing of the Okavango Delta as a UNESCO World Heritage Site is an important event for which Botswana must be congratulated. However, some minority communities appear to have been affected in terms of traditional seasonal access to land and resources despite assurances to the contrary. The Special Rapporteur invites the Government to initiate discussions and negotiations with affected minority communities to address these challenges and seek agreements accommodating traditional practices without significantly affecting the mandate of the World Heritage Site. 17
