The University of Botswana (UB) was established by government in 1982 as a national university. Its historically dominant role within the country’s tertiary education sector and its significance in national life make it Botswana’s flaship university. While its historical evolution is fairly well documented, the same cannot be said about its contribution to the nation’s well-being. This chapter addresses this concern by examining UB’s contributions to research, capacity building, and policy development and by exploring how it has influenced the development of the higher education sector in Botswana. The study’s methodology was primarily a desk review of policy documents, historical records and annual reports produced abundantly by the government and the university itself.
