On Episode 5, I chat with three representatives of the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA) in Botswana. Agathe Lawson is the UNFPA Officer-in-Charge for South Africa and Country Director for the eSwatini and Botswana Country Offices. Mareledi Segotso is the Head of Office, UNFPA Botswana Country Office, and Priscilla Rabasimane is Communications Analyst also at UNFPA Botswana. Together they tell us about their Drones for Health initiative which is delivering life-saving medical products to underserved communities in Botswana.
