THE Executive Director for Africa Group 1 Constituency, Dr Taufila Nyamadzabo says his visit to Lesotho this week is aimed at making follow ups on the World Bank sponsored projects in the country.

This, Dr Nyamadzabo said on Monday during a meeting he had in Maseru with the Minister of Development Planning Selibe Mochoboroane. He mentioned that part of the agenda of his visit includes discussing the issue of the COVID-19 vaccine with the Lesotho government.  
He said the discussions will also focus on strategies on issues related to the constituency, the mid-term review and the human resource support.
For his part, Mr Mochoboroane said he is aware that most projects which are funded by the World Bank face slow progression due to lack of monitoring therefore support of the bank on issues of monitoring and evaluation will highly be appreciated.
He said despite the challenges that some of the projects face, the successful ones have however, positively changed the lives of Basotho.
