Opportunity summary
What is being procured?
Description of project: Lesotho faces significant socio-economic challenges, including poverty, unemployment, food insecurity, and high HIV/AIDS prevalence. Thanks to its geographical location, Lesotho - the "Water Tower" of Southern Africa - plays a critical role in regional water security, supplying water to South Africa, with additional regional transfer schemes under consideration. Protecting and sustainably managing Lesotho"s water resources is therefore a national and regional priority. However, Lesotho"s catchments have been heavily degraded due to settlement in sensitive areas, overgrazing and unsustainable land use, causing erosion, soil fertility loss, sedimentation and hydrological instability. Climate change intensifies these impacts with erratic rainfall, floods and droughts.
