Welcome to UNDP Lesotho

UNDP is the UN's global development network, advocating for change and connecting countries to knowledge, experience and resources to help people build a better life. We are on the ground in 166 countries, working with them on their own solutions to global and national development challenges. As they develop local capacity, they draw on the people of UNDP and our wide range of partners.

UNDP Lesotho Vision
UNDP Lesotho is a committed and professional team that upholds the values of the UN and provides efficient and accountable services. We work through coordinated partnerships to support Lesotho’s development priorities and the achievement of the MDGs.
UNDP Lesotho Focus Areas

UNDP Lesotho’s collaboration and support to the Government and people of Lesotho is governed by the Country Programme 2008-2012, which is based on the priority needs of the country. UNDP is committed to build on and share experiences with our wide range of partners, to maximise the impact of poverty reduction initiatives of the Government of Lesotho in addressing these challenges.

The following are the four focus areas for  UNDP Lesotho:

Democratic Governance
UNDP's Democratic Governance programme is focused on supporting the promotion of transparent, accountable and effective governance at all levels, with specific emphasis on capacity strengthening of governance institutions.

Energy and Environment
UNDP's Environment and Energy programme focuses on strengthening the capacity of the Government of Lesotho to manage environment change and adopt an integrated approach to the sustainable management of natural resources.
HIV & AIDS
Under the Joint UN Programme of Support, UNDP Lesotho helps develop capacity for multi-sector responses and the promotion of an enabling human rights environment to reverse the course of the HIV & AIDS epidemic.
Poverty and Food Security
UNDP's programme aims to strengthen national statistical capacities for monitoring poverty and progress towards the achievement of the MDGs. Furthermore, UNDP promotes economic empowerment of the poor through its youth employment and trade programmes.
