Compared with 2014, this was a quiet year on the domestic political scene. No major shift took place in the country’s foreign policy, which continued to be underpinned by the values of good governance, democracy and respect for human rights. The economy experienced a slump in the demand for diamonds, and as a result barely grew. In response, the government announced an Economic Stimulus Programme (esp), meant to boost economic growth, diversify the economy and generate employment. Longstanding socio-economic challenges continued to afflict the country’s development prospects.
