Fact-finding mission to Lesotho

On 7-15 May, the UNU-LRT Director went on a fact-finding mission to Lesotho in Southern Africa. The mission was a response to a collaboration interest of the government of Lesotho on combating land degradation and restoring degraded land. During the mission, the UNU-LRT Director was introduced to land degradation challenges and restoration work in Lesotho, as well as learning about the activities of the Ministry of Forestry, Range and Soil Conservation and the Ministry of Agriculture and Food Security. Specialists from the two ministries were interviewed as potential candidates for a training at UNU-LRT.

The mission was successful and UNU-LRT looks forward to a fruitful collaboration.
