Dixon Olutade Torimiro, PhD
Professor: Agricultural Extension & Rural Sociology
Faculty of Agri-Business, Education and Extension (Department of Agricultural Education, Extension and Rural Development)
I hold MSc and PhD degrees in Agricultural Extension and Rural Sociology from Obafemi Awolowo University (OAU), Ile-Ife, Nigeria, and a Bachelor of Agriculture degree in Agricultural Extension and Rural Sociology from Ogun State University (now Olabisi Onabanjo University), Ago-Iwoye, Nigeria. I have over 30 years of distinguished experience in teaching, research, extension/outreach, and community service, complemented by extensive international academic exposure. I have served in diverse capacities as a visiting scholar, visiting fellow, visiting scientist, external examiner, professorial assessor, and sabbatical staff across Nigeria, Botswana, South Africa, Eswatini, Ghana, Senegal, Belgium, Germany, Canada, and the United States of America.
I am currently a full Professor and former Head of the Department of Agricultural Education, Extension and Rural Development at the Botswana University of Agriculture and Natural Resources (BUAN), a position I held for three (3) years. Prior to this, I served as Assistant Lecturer and Lecturer at Ogun State University for four (4) years, and subsequently joined Obafemi Awolowo University, where I rose through the academic ranks to full Professor in 2009. During my tenure at OAU, I served as Acting Head of the Department of Agricultural Extension and Rural Development for two (2) years, and as Pre-Degree Programme Coordinator and Management Committee Member of the Centre for Distance Learning for three (3) years. I also previously served as a full Professor of Agricultural Extension and Rural Sociology at the University of Botswana (Botswana College of Agriculture), now BUAN, between 2013 and 2015.
My international and professional engagements include serving as a Laureate of the Child and Youth Studies Institute of CODESRIA, Senegal, and a member of its Multinational Working Group. I was an ECOWAS–AAU Academic Staff Exchange Fellow at North-West University, Mafikeng Campus, South Africa, and an International Extension Scholar-in-Residence at The Ohio State University, USA. I have served as an Independent Expert Evaluator for the Association of African Universities (AAU) and on European Commission panels reviewing Horizon 2020 and Erasmus-Youth research proposals. I am a former Member of the Board of Trustees of Crawford University, Nigeria, and a member of Botswana’s National Steering Committee on the Review of the Draft Rural Development Policy (2023–2024).
I currently provide strategic leadership in implementing the four (4) pillars of the BUAN Extension Strategy Framework, including the BUAN Adopted Village Extension (BAVE) initiative and the Agricultural Media Resources and Extension Laboratory (AMREL) with BUAN Radio, efforts that culminated in the publication of Botswana’s first agricultural extension book. I also co-initiated the International Research and Development Network of Children and Youth in Agriculture Programme (CYIAP-Network) in 1999 and currently serve as Chair of its Board of Trustees, supporting youth-focused research, advocacy, and sustainable agricultural development globally.

Dr Daniso Mokgwathi
Instructor
Faculty of Agri-Business, Education and Extension (Department of Agricultural Education, Extension and Rural Development)
Dr Daniso Mokgwathi is an Instructor in Agricultural Education and Extension at the Botswana University of Agriculture and Natural Resources (BUAN), where she teaches undergraduate courses in agricultural extension, rural development, and community engagement. With a career spanning over four decades across education, community development, research, student affairs, healthcare, and social advocacy, she has dedicated her professional life to empowering individuals and communities through learning, capacity building, and participatory development approaches.
Since joining BUAN as an instructor in 2018, she has taught and mentored undergraduate students in agricultural extension, emphasising learner-centred, participatory, and experiential approaches that enhance effective engagement with farming communities. Her teaching integrates adult learning principles with extension methodologies to prepare future extension practitioners to facilitate meaningful knowledge exchange, farmer learning, and sustainable rural development. She also contributes to curriculum development, student mentorship, community outreach initiatives, and research aimed at strengthening extension practice in Botswana.
Her doctoral research, titled "The Dynamics of Infusing Adult Learning Principles into Extension Teaching Methods in Botswana," examines the knowledge, experiences, practical realities, and support needs of agricultural extension practitioners in applying adult learning principles within extension services. The study contributes to the advancement of agricultural extension education by highlighting strategies for improving farmer education through participatory, learner-centred, and contextually relevant teaching methods.
Prior to her academic appointment, Dr. Mokgwathi served as Dean of Student Affairs at BUAN from 2011 to 2018, where she led the development of student wellness programmes, institutional policies, and support services that enhanced student success and wellbeing. Her leadership involved strategic planning, programme management, stakeholder engagement, and the coordination of multidisciplinary teams.
From 2001 to 2010, she served as Program Director and later Assistant Director for the Pitzer College Study Abroad Program in Botswana. In these roles, she facilitated intercultural learning experiences, developed partnerships with universities, government institutions, NGOs, and local communities, and taught Setswana to international students. Her work fostered cultural understanding, experiential learning, and community engagement within diverse educational settings.
Earlier in her career, she worked as a Program Officer with the Women and Law in Southern Africa Research Trust (Botswana Chapter), where she provided legal education, coordinated community outreach programmes, supported research and advocacy initiatives, and promoted women's rights and legal literacy. She also has extensive clinical nursing experience gained in Botswana and the United States, including leadership responsibilities as an In-Charge Nurse, where she provided patient care, health education, counselling, and community health services.
Throughout her career, Dr Mokgwathi has remained committed to the transformative power of education. Her work bridges adult learning and lifelong learning, agricultural extension, and community development, with a particular interest in strengthening the capacity of agricultural extension officers to use effective adult education approaches that enhance farmer learning, participation, and rural livelihoods.

Dr Nelson Motlapele Tselaesele
Senior Lecturer in Rural Sociology and Agricultural Extension
Faculty of Agri-Business, Education and Extension (Department of Agricultural Education, Extension and Rural Development)
Dr Nelson Motlapele Tselaesele is a Senior Lecturer in Rural Sociology and Agricultural Extension whose academic and professional work focuses on advancing inclusive rural development in Botswana and the wider region. His scholarship sits at the intersection of agriculture, natural resources management, and rural livelihoods, with a strong emphasis on the social dimensions of development and knowledge systems.
Dr Tselaesele has been actively involved in research and consultancy engagements that address practical challenges facing rural communities, particularly in agriculture and natural resource governance. In the agricultural sector, his research has made significant contributions to agricultural extension practice, examining how advisory services, knowledge transfer, and farmer engagement influence productivity, resilience, and the overall wellbeing of rural households. His work emphasizes the role of extension as a collaborative, participatory process rather than a one?directional transmission of technical information.
In the area of natural resources, Dr Tselaesele has a distinctive research focus on the social and traditional knowledge dimensions of resource use and management across Botswana’s diverse ecosystems. He explores how local institutions, cultural norms, Traditional Knowledge Systems, and community practices shape interactions with land, water, forests, and wildlife. His work highlights the importance of recognizing Traditional and local knowledge as a legitimate and valuable component of sustainable natural resource management and policy formulation.
Through his teaching, research, and community engagement, Dr Tselaesele consistently advocates for development approaches that are people?centred, culturally grounded, and socially responsive. He is a member of the BW-NEA project participating as a UNESCO – LINKS supported Traditional Lead. He is also the chair of the Team that develops the Traditional Knowledge Policy in Botswana under the Ministry of Communication and Innovation.
