This need to forge scientific and technological breakthroughs is more pronounced in countries that are considered very vulnerable to the adverse effects of climate change, Lesotho being one of such cases. Although the country has embarked on the identification, assessment and development of technologies that promote sustainable development without contributing significantly to greenhouse gas emissions, the barriers to the transfer of these environmentally sound technologies (ESTs) has been found to be insurmountable in some sectors of the economy. Lesotho is not alone in facing the challenges that are posed by barriers to technological transfer. The problem of lack of technological innovation and development is common throughout the developing world. The current exercise that aimed at assessing the country’s adaptation technological needs, particularly in the energy and land use change and forestry sectors, attempted to unravel some of these barriers. The two sectors in which detailed assessments of technological needs were made were found to be emitting the highest amount of greenhouse gases in Lesotho’s First National Communication to the Conference of the Parties to the UNFCCC in April 2000. This report is in 6 chapters: chapter 1 attempts to summarise the country’s development objectives and conditions that compel Lesotho to embark on technology development initiatives; chapter 2 summarises national experiences with technology development in various sectors; chapter 3 makes an in-depth analysis of the role of education and training in technology development; chapters 4 and 5 attempt to assess technology needs respectively in the energy and land use change and forestry sectors; and chapter 6 presents conclusions and recommendations to be drawn from each of the areas of assessment. It is hoped that the current report will not only provoke debate around challenges facing the transfer of technology in various sectors of the Lesotho economy, but also pave the path for future interventions. Many thanks go to all those who facilitated the compilation of this report.

ROMA LESOTHO AFRICA (RESEARCH REPORTj I Henk Huismpn 1S83 X t > u i Preface For the research programme undertaken in the context of the Urban and Regional Planning Programme, established at the National University of Lesotho in 1978, emphasis has been put on the spatial organization of develooment efforts and activities in the rural areas of Lesotho. This focus on the rural parts of the country also includes an assess­ ment of the role of urban centres in providing both agricultural and non-agricultursl services to the rural populati on. The present report focusses on the only urban centre in the Mafeteng District, viz. Mafeteng town. Services provided from the centre to the district's population are analysed in relation to the town 1s internal production structure. The information for this report was collected in 1981 by means of a sample survey of households and a number of special studies in which attention was paid to specific aspects of the urban economy and the town's population which were considered crucial for the analysis of structure and function of the town. The report should be seen as the urban counterpart to the URPP research report on households, production and resources in Mafeteng District, which was published in 1987. These reports will be followed by a planning survey of Mafeteng District, which contains an analysis of the district economy.

  • Social Fences M ... Sotho and Eastern Cape.Pdf
    Extensive livestock production remains a significant part of livelihoods in many parts of southern Africa where land is not held in freehold, including Lesotho and the former 'homeland' of Transkei, now part of the Eastern Cape province of South Africa. In such areas, sustainable livestock production requires some form of community based range management. Based on field research and project support work in the Maluti District of the former Transkei and the Mohale's Hoek and Quthing Districts of southern Lesotho, this paper explores the contrasting views of community based range management that prevail in the two countries. It aims to reveal the social and economic tensions that exist between social fencing approaches and metal fencing approaches, and to highlight the different perceptions of governance and institutional roles that result from the two countries' political experiences over the 20* century. This comparative discussion should yield policy lessons for both countries, and the wider region. The Drakensberg escarpment separates two very different experiences of governance and resource management in these two areas. In southern Lesotho, chiefs continue to play a strong role in local government and natural resource management. Cattle, sheep and goats still play an important role in local livelihoods. Livestock are herded by boys and young men. Grazing areas, demarcated by natural features or beacons, are unfenced. They are opened and closed by the chiefs sitting in council with senior men of the community, who also punish infringements of local range management rules. Like their Xhosa-speaking neighbours in the former Transkei homeland area of the Eastern Cape, Basotho have suffered heavily from stock theft over the past decade.

Political commitment • In 2014, the Kingdom of Lesotho joined the SUN Movement with a letter of commitment from Prime Minister. • The Government of Lesotho established the Food and Nutrition Coordinating Office (FNCO), initially under the Ministry of Agriculture and then later under the Prime Minister office. • Five SUN Networks established : business, research and academia, media, civil society and the UN. However the UN Network is the only one that is fully functional. • Several multisectoral committees under FNCO coordination are operating in addressing nutrition issues in Lesotho. • A High-level nutrition forum held in October 2018 showcased the importance given to
