Botswana has specific telemarketing laws that businesses must comply with to avoid penalties.

BOCRA (Botswana Communications Regulatory Authority) regulates telecommunications under the Communications Regulatory Authority Act 2012.
Telemarketing is primarily governed by the Electronic Communications and Transactions Act (ECTA) No. 14 of 2014 and the Data Protection Act 2018, which require marketers to provide identity/contact details and an opt-out facility; ECTA offences are punishable by fines up to BWP 50,000 or 8 years imprisonment, as outlined by DLA Piper Botswana.
The Data Protection Act 2018 prohibits processing after objection, with penalties up to BWP 500,000 or 9 years; BOCRA hosts the Data Protection Commissioner, as outlined by DLA Piper.

These regulations emphasize the need for businesses to adhere to country-specific rules when engaging in telemarketing within Botswana.

Botswana's economic outlook for 2026 is in transition, with the diamond-dependent economy navigating weak global demand while pursuing diversification into tourism, financial services, and technology.

Diamonds and Mining: Diamonds have been the foundation of Botswana's economy since independence, with the Debswana partnership between the government and De Beers operating major mines at Jwaneng and Orapa that have historically generated around 70–80% of export earnings and a significant share of government revenue. However, global demand for natural diamonds has weakened amid competition from lab-grown alternatives, putting pressure on revenues and underscoring the urgency of economic diversification.
