Chapter 6 6.0 Overall Conclusion  The successful implementation of the 2030 Agenda and the SDGs requires a  Whole of Government approach and this calls for Governments to be prepared  to integrate SDGs into their national planning frameworks, mobilise financing  mechanisms and set up monitoring and review arrangements to be able to  effectively implement the Agenda. On this note, that Botswana has made  significant efforts in preparing for implementation of SDGs as Sustainable  Development Goals have been aligned to national development frameworks, a  National SDGs roadmap for implementation has been developed and an  institutional framework for coordination and implementation of SDGs was set up. However, some deficiencies pertaining to the country’s readiness for  implementation of SDGs were noted. More needs to be done on public  awareness about the 2030 Agenda as there was still low level of awareness on  SDGs. On the other hand, the national baselines had not yet been developed.  In addition, the Ministries operated in silos with standalone policies, which could  stretch the limited resources at the Government disposal and ultimately defeat  the 2030 Agenda intent of Whole of Government approach and the Ministry had  not been able to explore and secure innovative financing of the 2030 Agenda and  the SDGs to augment the national budget for means of implementation. Other  areas of deficiencies were noted on monitoring, review and reporting.  Notwithstanding shortcomings in some aspects, OAG acknowledges the  contributions MFED has made in preparedness for implementation of the SDGs. Lastly, the successful implementation of the SDGs is reliant upon effective  strategies on means of implantation.  23
