About the Partner Organisation

The United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) in Maseru, Lesotho, works in the Kingdom of Lesotho helping to achieve the eradication of poverty, and the reduction of inequalities and exclusion. They support the government of Lesotho to develop policies, leadership skills, partnering abilities, institutional capabilities and build resilience in order to sustain development results.

Despite some progress over the past few years, there are still capacity gaps in key institutions with regards to governance. Strategic programming to support the national reforms process, as well as capacity building and enhancement of institutions of governance, are expected to support socio-economic growth, social accountability and social cohesion. The National Assembly and Senate will need both intensive structural capacity building support and human resource skills if they are to support the work of the reforms in general.
