Established in 1974, the Institute of Development Management (IDM) was founded as a joint initiative by the governments of Botswana, Lesotho, and Eswatini to meet the management and human resource needs of the region. IDM Botswana offers accredited programs across three main faculties: Business and Information Resource Management, Human Resources and Organisational Development, and Public Health Management. The institution provides education ranging from certificate to master's degree levels, alongside executive training, research, and consultancy services. In early 2025, the three governments announced plans to transition and dissolve the regional structure of IDM to establish localized national institutions, though current students continue their studies under accredited frameworks.
