Poverty has been stubborn to be won in Botswana (Maundeni and Mupedziswa, 2007). Literature indicates that, at independence in 1966, Botswana was the 2nd poorest country after Bangladesh (Mangobeyi and Odhiambo, 2017). In 1974 with the discovery of diamonds the country moved steadily from the state of poverty to upper middle-income country. This economic development does not really translate in improved livelihoods of people (The World Bank, 2018). Poverty has continued to be pervasive and the unemployment numbers are not changing especially among the youth. This paper therefore looks at some of the poverty eradication measures in Botswana. The paper pays attention to ipelegeng project and assesses its sustainability and whether it will improve the livelihoods of the poor
