  • 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.

    ) Internal Ex-Post Evaluation for Grant Aid Project Conducted by South Africa Office: December, 2014 Country Name Project for Constriction of Secondary Schools in the Kingdom of Lesotho Kingdom of Lesotho I. Project Outline Secondary education in Lesotho was a five-year educational course for students aged 13 to 18 years who have completed primary education. As of 2005, the net enrollment ratios (NER) in secondary education remained low at 25.4%. While the introduction of Free Primary Education (FPE) in 2000 raised NER in primary education to 83.2%. In this circumstance, it was expected that NER in the secondary education would be increased, and accordingly the demands for development of school Background infrastructures for secondary education would be significantly increased. In this respect, the Ministry of Education and Training estimated the shortage of 3,622 class rooms in 2015, and put a priority on the improvement of accessibility to the secondary education service by constructing new school facilities equipped with dormitories, kitchens and canteens combined with multi-purpose halls in the remote areas and highly populated areas. To improve the accessibility of secondary education service by constructing school facilities for Objectives of the secondary education and procuring school furniture in seven project sites/districts*.
