  • Household Population and Housing Characteristics 2
    HOUSEHOLD POPULATION AND HOUSING CHARACTERISTICS 2 John Nkonyana This chapter presents information on the social, economic, and demographic characteristics of the household population, focusing mainly on such background characteristics as age, sex, educational attendance and attainment, place of residence, and socioeconomic conditions of households. The information provided is intended to facilitate interpretation of the key demographic, socioeconomic, and health indices. It is further intended to assist in the assessment of the representativeness of the survey. One of the background characteristics used throughout this report is an index of socioeconomic status. The economic index used here was recently developed and tested in a large number of countries in relation to inequities in household income, use of health services, and health outcomes (Rutstein et al., 2000). It is an indicator of the level of wealth that is consistent with expenditure and income measures (Rutstein, 1999). The economic index was constructed using household asset data with principal components analysis. The asset information was collected through the Household Questionnaire of the 2004 LDHS and covers information on household ownership of a number of consumer items ranging from a television to a bicycle or car, as well as dwelling characteristics, such as source of drinking water, sanitation facilities, and type of material used for flooring. Each asset was assigned a weight (factor score) generated through principal components analysis, and the resulting asset scores were standardized in relation to a normal distribution with a mean of zero and standard deviation of one (Gwatkin et al., 2000). Each household was then assigned a score for each asset, and the scores were summed for each household; individuals were ranked according to the total score of the household in which they resided.

McVean IUCN Consultant Report of International Union for Conservation of Nature and Natural Resources to the Government of Lesotho with the financial support of the United Nations Environment Programme. Morges, Switzerland June 1977 FOREWORD Following a UNEP Mission to the Kingdom of Lesotho by Mr. A.L .D. Mongi, UNEP Advisor on Conservation and Wildlife from 29 January to 3 February 1975 in which he identified urgent need for a short-term advisory consult- ancy to the Kingdom to work out details on matters related to nature conservation, the Government of Lesotho approached UNEP for the provis- ion of such a consultant. International Union for Conservation of Nature and Natural Resources (IUCN), which works in close cooperation with UNEP in the promotion of conservation, was requested to carry out this task under UNEP/IUCN Project FP-1103-75-04. This arrangement made it possible to send an IUCN Consultant for three months the result of which is the subject of this report. IUCN acknowledges with gratitude the cooperation given to the Consultant by the Kingdom of Lesotho through the various Ministries, private bodies and individuals, and to the UNDP Resident Representative; and lastly to UNEP for making the funds available.

  • 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.
