The purpose of this paper was to summarize the results of the 2018 Botswana’s Report Card. Methods A literature search was done from several research databases to inform the 10 core PA indicators of the Global Matrix 3.0. These indicators include Overall PA, Organized Sport Participation, Active Play, Active Transportation, Sedentary Behaviors, Physical Fitness, Family and Peers, School, Community and Environment, and Government. Data synthesized was mainly from published peer-reviewed articles, grey literature, stakeholder websites, policy reports from the WHO, and relevant ministries. Expert and subjective information and observation was also used to produce the Botswana’s 2018 Report Card. Results The Overall PA, Organised Sport Participation, Physical Fitness, and Family and Peers indicators were allocated an incomplete due to insufficient data. A grade C- was assigned to the School indicator and a D- to Active Play, both data were derived from expert opinion and subjective observation. Active Transportation and Sedentary Behaviors grades were based only on the Guthold et al. (2010) study. There is a clear indication of data paucity in PA and its influencing indicators among Botswana school-aged children and youth. Although some of the indicators were graded with the available data, further research is needed to appropriately grade all 10 indicators. Conclusion A comprehensive national survey on the PA of school-aged children and Youth in Botswana is needed. Regardless, Botswana’s 2018 Report Card will provide an informed baseline which will guide the national survey. Data from the national survey will provide guidance to policy makers and direction to interventions that can improve PA among Botswana children and youth.
