In order to address the challenges that inhibit the country’s potential to achieving zero hunger by 2030, the Government commissioned the Lesotho Zero Hunger Strategic Review (LZHSR) report.

This paper provides an overview of what climate change will mean to subsistence and smallholder farmers in Lesotho, and how the capacity for climate change adaptation in agriculture can be strengthened, focusing on selected areas of crops, livestock and forest-based livelihood systems, to stabilize and improve yields.

The purpose of the Regional Indicative Strategic Development Plan is to deepen regional integration in SADC. It provides SADC Member States with a consistent and comprehensive programme of long-term economic and social policies.
