Botswana University of Agriculture and Natural Resources

Formally Botswana College of Agriculture (BCA) is an agricultural university located in Gaborone, Botswana. It was established by an act of the Parliament of Botswana, Act no 12 of 2015 as a Parastatal under the Ministry of Agricultural Development and Food Security (MoA).

On the 27th of August 2013, the Government of Botswana approved that the then Botswana College of Agriculture should transform into a university of agriculture and natural resources through Presidential Directive. The decision was in line with the College’s Strategic Plan of 2009-2016 which had the vision to transform into “an agricultural university of international repute.”

The process of transformation was inaugurated when the then Ministry of Agriculture announced the Government’s decision at a ceremony at the Sebele campus on the 12th of November 2013. On the 1st February 2016, BUAN became a University through the commencement of the Act of Parliament 12 of 2015.
