Stepping Stones International (SSI), a civil society organisation registered in Botswana since 2006, and serves vulnerable children and youth ages 12-25. SSI’s core services include youth empowerment, family enrichment, capacity building of service providers and advocacy for child protection. SSI’s programs are developed, implemented and monitored by their own beneficiaries.
SSI applies the socio-ecological model for programming, including the child (life skills, counselling, literacy), the family (counselling, referrals, parenting skills), the community (engaging grandmothers and village child protection communities to identify cases of child abuse) and the national policy level (lobbying policy makers to change the law regarding children).

Botswana has not established active or passive extraterritoriality. Botswana legislation applies to offences committed only partly within Botswana. The Criminal Code does not provide for universal jurisdiction.
Extraditable offences are offences which, if committed within Botswana, would be an offence punishable with imprisonment for a term of two years or more (double criminality principle). There are no specific provisions on extradition of SEC-related offences. However, most SEC-related offences are crimes that are punishable with imprisonment of two years or more and therefore could be considered as extraditable offences.
Under the Protocol of Extradition, extraditable offences are offences that are punishable under the laws of State Parties by imprisonment or other deprivation of liberty for a period of at least one year, or by a more severe penalty. Extradition may be granted to serve a sentence of imprisonment of at least six months. There is no specific provision on the extradition of SEC-related offences.
