Key components of such governance framework will include the main digital actors, structure, mandates, collaboration mechanisms, steering committee and working group, with supporting secretariat and monitoring and measurement approaches. These are essential to improving cooperation and collaboration among stakeholders. These elements are vital to realising the activities outlined in this action and achieving a successful implementation of the Smart Botswana Digital Transformation Strategy (SmartBots). Design and web accessibility standards, guidelines and tools established and improved, alongside core registries to support data completeness and quality in line with IOP standards will be key to realising these aspirations. Likewise, an emphasis on digital by default and effective communication strategy would need to be established and adopted."}, {"bbox": [97, 1015, 1126, 1071], "category": "Section-header", "text": "### 3.

Currently many innovations emanating from the BDIH end up as prototypes, do not scale, and are often not commercialised. Greater involvement of industry in innovation (and digital) will help bridge the existing gaps between the demand and supply sides of innovation, improve service delivery, strengthen the ecosystems, and support the economic diversification and job creation in particular for women and youth. To achieve these objectives, digital skills and capacities must be enhanced, alongside improved connectivity and affordability of internet to promote the adoption of digital technologies."}, {"bbox": [1027, 1680, 1144, 1706], "category": "Page-footer", "text": "Page 14 of 30"}]
