    Abstract
    Statistics Botswana is a parastatal organization charged with responsibilities of collecting and disseminating all official statistics in Botswana. The autonomy of the organisation was realised under the Statistics Act of 2009, repealing the archaic 1967 Act, under which Central Statistics Office was formed.

    Statistics Botswana's Microdata Portal disseminates microdata from government surveys and administrative records. The site has micro-datasets from 1995 to the current year. The portal was established to:
    Promote best practice and international standards for the documentation of microdata amongst data producers in the country.
    Provide equitable access to microdata in the interest of all citizens, by protecting confidentiality and following international recommendations and good practice.
    Promote the effective use of existing survey and census data for statistical and research purposes, thereby encouraging a diverse range of analytical work through secondary research.
    Ensure the long term preservation of microdata and the related metadata, and their continued viability and usability in the future.
