Welcome to Botswana Communications Regulatory Authority




TOGETHER WE CAN BEAT


COVID 19

The communications sector provides essential services required to enable the
fight against Corona Virus (COVID-19) pandemic.  The sector enables
dissemination of critical public health information countrywide. The sector also
provides online tools and platforms that enable continued, albeit restricted
functioning of businesses as well as tracking of the extent and impact of the
virus on the population and the economy. In line with this role, BOCRA supports
Government public education efforts aimed at arresting the possible damage that
the virus could inflict on the country.

Botswana Communications Regulatory Authority (BOCRA) was established through the
Communications Regulatory Authority Act, 2012 (CRA Act) on the 1st of April 2013

telecommunications, Internet and Information and Communications Technologies
(ICTs), radio communications, broadcasting, postal services and related
matters.The CRA Act replaced the Broadcasting Act [Cap 72:04], the
Telecommunications Act [Cap 72:03], and caused the amendment of the Postal
Services Act to create a converged or an integrated regulatory authority for the
communications industry.

of major towns and villages in Botswana. The stations have extended access to
their services through online broadcasting transmission which makes them

complied with.
