National Electrification Master Plan for Lesotho - Final Report 6 1 Executive Summary 1.1 Introduction The objective of this National Electrification Master Plan Study (NEMP) is to provide clear guidelines and establish priorities for providing access to electric- ity in Lesotho in a co-ordinated and cost-effective manner, which will enable the Government of Lesotho (GOL) to meet its electrification targets in particu- lar, and rural development goals in general. The NEMP study has been organ- ised in three distinct steps: 1 Inception; 2 Electrification Master Planning; 3 Electrification Master Plan Implementation Strategy. This Final Report presents the outcome and results of the study. 1.2 Electrification Target The target of the Government of Lesotho is to ensure that in 2020 at least 40% of all households have access to electricity either from the national power grid, from an isolated system or from individual solutions (solar PV/generators). The table below shows the projection of population and number of households in Lesotho and specifies the number of electrified households required to achieve the electrification target. Table 1-1 Population, households and electrification targets Year 2005 2010 2015 2020 Total population 2,200,000 2,300,000 2,320,000 2,320,000 Total number of households 564,000 590,000 595,000 595,000 Electrification level 8% 20% 35% 40% No. of domestic customers 42,610 118,000 208,000 238,000 Source: Consultant's calculations. The electrification level of 2005 as well as the projections are based on an average household size of 3.9 P:\64131A\3_Pdoc\DOC\Final Report\færdige\Final Report October 2007\Final Report\Final Report-october.doc . National Electrification Master Plan for Lesotho - Final Report 7 Briefly, the number of electrified households should increase from 42,000 to 238,000. This corresponds to an annual average of new connections of ap- proximately 13,000. Currently, 5,000-6,000 new customers are added annually to the system. The commercialised LEC is foreseen to connect 8,000 new cus- tomers within its service territory (ST). Through the Rural Electrification Unit (REU), the Government is foreseen to be in charge of the remaining. In order to achieve this goal, Lesotho faces two main challenges: (1) to moti- vate LEC to fulfil their commitment, and (2) to establish a parallel structure that can plan for and handle approximately 5,000 connections per year outside the ST. This National Electrification Master Plan provides a framework for the actions over the next 15 years, including the following: • The cluster approach (see Section 1.3) identifies large and viable planning areas for electrification of Lesotho over the next 15 years; • The plan establishes a clear priority of settlements to be electrified; • The plan includes an estimate of the investment and operational cost of the plan using recommended technologies and projects; • The plan demonstrates that considerable subsidies are required for its im- plementation; • The plan clearly identifies the role and responsibilities of LEC, REU, Le- sotho Electrification Authority (LEA) and Department of Energy (DOE); • The plan provides a capacity building framework that will enable the key players to fulfil their role. 1.3 Settlements The viability of the constituencies and type of settlement has been used as a starting point for the ranking of the settlements to be electrified.

    Lesotho 2019 Human Rights Report

    LESOTHO 2019 HUMAN RIGHTS REPORT EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Lesotho is a constitutional monarchy with a democratic parliamentary government. Under the constitution the king is head of state but does not actively participate in political activities. The prime minister is head of government and has executive authority. In 2017 former prime minister Pakalitha Mosisili of the Democratic Congress Party lost a vote of no confidence and a snap election. All major parties accepted the outcome, and Motsoahae Thomas Thabane of the All Basotho Convention Party (ABC) formed a coalition government and became prime minister. Mosisili transferred power peacefully to Thabane, and Mathibeli Mokhothu assumed leadership of the opposition. Local and international observers assessed the election as peaceful, credible, and transparent. The security forces consist of the Lesotho Defense Force (LDF), the Lesotho Mounted Police Service (LMPS), the National Security Service (NSS), and the Lesotho Correctional Service (LCS). The LMPS is responsible for internal security. The LDF maintains external security and may support police when the LMPS commissioner requests assistance. The NSS is an intelligence service that provides information on possible threats to internal and external security. The LDF and NSS report to the minister of defense; the LMPS, to the minister of police and public safety; and the LCS, to the minister of justice and correctional service. Civilian authorities generally maintained effective control over the security forces. The Southern African Development Community (SADC) Preventive Mission in Lesotho contingent of troops, deployed to foster stability as the government moved forward with SADC-recommended security-sector reforms, departed the country in November 2018. In May the government did not meet an SADC deadline for completion of constitutional and security reforms.

    Statement at the Conclusion of the Official Visit to Lesotho by the Special Rapporteur on the Human Rights to Safe Drinking Water and Sanitation, Mr

    Statement at the conclusion of the official visit to Lesotho by the Special Rapporteur on the human rights to safe drinking water and sanitation, Mr. Léo Heller Maseru, 15 February 2019 As the United Nations Special Rapporteur on the human rights to safe drinking water and sanitation, I address you today at the conclusion of my official visit to Lesotho, which I undertook at the invitation of the Government from 4 to 15 February 2019. Firstly, I would like to thank the Government of Lesotho for the invitation and particularly the Ministry of Foreign Affairs for the organization of the visit. During the visit, I met government representatives at the central and district levels, international funders, and the civil society. I visited villages, towns, schools, health clinics, a church, and correctional services in 6 districts out of 10 (districts of Mafeteng, Maseru, Mohale’s Hoek, Mokhotlong, Thaba-Tseka, and Quthing). Most importantly, my heartfelt appreciation goes to the residents who opened their doors, welcomed me into their homes, and discussed their situations of water and sanitation. Finally, I would like to thank the UN Resident Coordinator’s Office for the support of the visit. At the outset, I would like to mention that this statement outlines my preliminary findings of the visit. My final and complete report will be presented to the United Nations Human Rights Council at its 42nd session in September 2019. 1 1. Water and sanitation and the life of a Mosotho girl Before I present my preliminary findings, let me introduce you to Palesa, a Mosotho girl living in the mountainous rural area of Lesotho.
