Domain-specific¶
- Paradox of Plenty (Resource Curse)
- Instead Botswana negotiated a 50/50 revenue-sharing partnership with De Beers (Debswana), channeled diamond revenue through prudent fiscal institutions including the Pula Fund (a sovereign-wealth fund) and a "Sustainable Budget Index" that ring-fenced resource revenue for investment rather than recurrent consumption, and sustained one of the world's fastest growth rates for decades with comparatively strong governance
This sourceIimi's IMF study carries the Debswana arrangement - the government of Botswana and De Beers holding equal shares, contract renewed in September 2004 - and the finding that governance quality is what determines whether resource wealth converts into growth, Botswana being the region's outlier; the Pula Fund and Sustainable Budget Index are not part of what it establishes.

Verification¶
Does it exist? Not checked yet. This entry carries no identifier to resolve. It was extracted from the citation as written in the article, normalized, and deduplicated against the rest of the registry.
Does it back the claim? Read against the text for 1 of 1 citation: 1 supported in part. Each verdict is shown under its citation below, with what in the work backs the sentence.
Support is checked per citation rather than per work — the same source can be cited soundly in one article and wrongly in another. Per-citation recording began recently, so a citation with no recorded check is a gap in the record rather than evidence it went unchecked.
