Details

Submitter's comments: Some areas still require mapping, Data sets are in departmental silos and as such can be bureaucratic to get.

Reviewer's comments: It does not appear as if Botswana has a national map released officially, although I am sure it exists internally (which is also what the submitter is hinting at as far as I can tell). I'm marking this in existence, but not publicly available.

Reviewer comments

I've made a couple of changes to this submission, as described in the comments field.
