Comments

Submitter's comments: Some areas still require mapping, Data sets are in departmental silos and as such can be bureaucratic to get.

Reviewer's comments: It does not appear as if Botswana has a national map released officially, although I am sure it exists internally (which is also what the submitter is hinting at as far as I can tell). I'm marking this in existence, but not publicly available.

Comments from 2015: There is an atlas of Botswana in the following link: https://www.atlas.gov.bw/ However, it seems like the government website is not working. Therefore, we are submitting the same result from last year.

Reviewer comments

Since the national atlas is an official source, and there is an EBook version, I'm changing the answer to "Digital" to "Yes", however the data is still not public, free, online, openly licensed, or updated timely. In addition, the Ebook version is a bulk download so I do believe it is better to mark it also as yes.
