Habitat III National Report 2015 THE KINGDOM OF LESOTHO Habitat III National Report 2015 Third United Nations Conference on Housing and Sustainable Urban Development (HABITAT III) May, 2015 Ministry of Local Government and Chieftainship Affairs Lesotho Country Report Page 1 Third United Nations Conference on Housing and Sustainable Urban Development (Habitat III) FOREWORD Twenty years could seem like a long time yet it may just be sufficient time to introspect, reflect and chart the way forward in addressing so many imperatives to improve the quality of life in human settlements. Like the rest of the nations of the world, Lesotho recognizes that what happens to daily lives and well-being of citizens is profoundly and inextricably related to how we manage and support our human settlements processes. The Report presented here is a compilation of successes and challenges over the past twenty years. We will henceforth strive to improve on our successes and address challenges . When we do that, it will be evidence that as a country we are making progress. From Habitat I in Vancouver, whose theme was Sustainable Human Settlements, Governments began to recognize consequences of rapid urbanization as a global issue that need to be addressed collectively. The theme of Habitat II held in Istanbul was Adequate Shelter and Sustainable Human Settlements Development in an Urbanizing World and now to setting the New Urban Agenda, Lesotho is in unison with the rest of the world that human beings are at the centre of efforts towards sustainable development that is also in harmony with nature. Lesotho has steep terrain that poses a challenge for infrastructure provision and climate change adaptation mechanisms. Strides have been made in addressing these even though they are not yet adequate. The process of reviewing progress and pitfalls in the human settlements sector offers us a unique opportunity to once again commit our efforts to the important goal of attaining sustainability in human settlements development. Together with and with assistance from our development partners we have made progress towards deepening democracy through decentralization, compiling a comprehensive Housing Profile that will lead to the formulation of a Housing Policy and provision of basic infrastructure and health facilities that extend to rural and remote areas. As we set the Agenda for the coming twenty years we will seek to continuously improve our human settlement strategies by reviewing our policy, institutional and legislative frameworks. By improving the environment for human settlements planning and management within the decentralized context we hope and believe that by 2036 we will have Lesotho that every citizen will be proud to call home.
