AGP Executive Report
Last update: 9 minutes agoDigital Skills for Youth: Quthing’s SOS Quthing Digital Community Hub is running a five-day ICT final exam for 25 young people from Quthing, Mohale’s Hoek and Qacha’s Nek, awarding certificates after a six-month free basic computer training covering Word, PowerPoint, Excel, design and online business—aimed at closing the district’s digital gap as enrolment drops and Quthing still lacks an internet café. Waste Crisis: A new Ombudsman report says 80% of Lesotho’s waste goes uncollected into illegal dumps and open burning, creating public health risks, especially around healthcare waste and needle injuries where PPE is often missing. E-Government Push: MICSTI says e-services rollout is progressing through selected ministries (Public Works, Agriculture, Finance and Development Planning, Public Service), with services meant to be accessible anytime as digitisation moves from front-end to back-end systems. Election Tech & Trust: The IEC launched its Civic and Voter Education Strategy and voter registration programme in Maseru, stressing the National Population Register and identity documents as the trusted basis for participation. Market Planning for Resilience: After Lesotho’s Annual Vulnerability Assessment, the Vulnerability Assessment Committee will run market research around May 30 to map prices, competition, security, services and storage—key for households hit by drought and food insecurity.
