Lesotho:

Inputs from Mpho

After busy weeks of collecting and documenting case studies for the Summit and Awards this year, activities for the Lesotho office will now include completion of stages 3 and 4 in the remaining COE councils: including Likila, Mateanong, Mashaleng and Rats’oleli community councils. Civil Society Organisations (CSO’s) demonstrated more interest than local councils. Having their case studies videotaped was exciting for most and they expressed their gratitude to GL. The lack of council participation could be attributed to lack of human resources. Nonetheless, more needs to be done to rekindle the necessary political will-power.
