2011 Botswana population and housing census

The 2011 Botswana population and housing census was the latest national census of Botswana.

The enumeration was managed by the Statistics Botswana (formerly Central Statistics Office) and took place over ten days starting on 22 August 2011.

The total budget for the 2011 census was 243,575,993 pula (US$35.3 million as of August 2011) with the Botswana government funding all the costs.

Bushmen living in the Central Kalahari Game Reserve boycotted the census in response to an earlier situation where the Bushmen were not provided polling stations in the 2009 election.

Jumanda Gakelebone spoke on behalf of the Bushmen, saying that "the government does not recognise us [the Bushmen] as a people.
