igher education (HE) is highly valued because it is believed to have a positive impact on economic growth and development. HE in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) is mostly publicly funded, with very little contribution from both learners and parents. Governments extract money from public resources to fund HE. Post-2007 and COVID-19 financial strictures mean HE funding gaps. These gaps necessitate the diversification of income streams to fund HE. Botswana is facing chronic HE funding gaps, thus, the purpose of this paper was to argue the case for the diversification of income streams to fund HE in Botswana. It heavily relied on the University of Botswana to make its case. It concluded that HE funding gaps necessitate the diversification of income streams. The diversification includes rebranding of courses; town-gown collaboration; university bonds; PPPs in education and entrepreneurial universities. Finally, this finding has implications for HE funding problems in SSA countries.
