The government of Lesotho, through the Lesotho Millennium Development Agency (LMDA), is currently developing its second compact with the support of the Millennium Challenge Corporation (MCC).

This is according to a statement by the US Embassy in Maseru this week, which said Lesotho’s compact development is an ongoing process that includes continuous dialogue between LMDA, MCC, and stakeholders to tap into different views and opinions, perspectives, and expertise to strengthen project outcomes.

The statement stated that the compact has three proposed projects namely, Market-Driven Irrigated Horticulture (MDIH), Business Environment and Technical Assistance (BETA), and the Health System Strengthening (HSS) project, and each project has several components.

“In continuing the Compact II development dialogue, the MCC is conducting a hybrid, in-country, and virtual mission to finalize decisions on the proposed compact project design and to secure the government’s commitment before submitting the Investment Memo for technical review.

“MCC Lesotho country team leader Karen Fadely Craig is leading the in-country mission and is accompanied by administrative officer Emily Ruhm. The MCC team is in Lesotho for two weeks to meet with government officials and all relevant stakeholders to further discuss the objectives, scope, costs, possible collaborations, benefits, and risks associated with each proposed project,” the statement read.
