The Lesotho Highlands Development Authority (LHDA) in partnership with the Smallholder Agricultural Development Project, Basotho Enterprise Development Corporation (BEDCO) and the Youth Enterprise Unit of the Ministry of Gender, Youth, Sports and Recreation will roll out an awareness programme on enterprise-based livelihood options for communities in electoral divisions within the Lesotho Highlands Water Project (LHWP) Phase II project area in Mokhotlong.

The first public gathering takes place at the Maluba-lube electoral division on March 16 2020.

The awareness programmes are intended to provide local communities with a menu of viable, sustainable livelihood options with a view to supporting these communities to move from subsistence production to commercializing their small livelihood generation activities.

The public gatherings run from 16 March to 20 March and from 30 March to 03 April as follows:
