Maseru, 15 February
ReNOKA’s operational plan was adopted in February 2022. It provides the first detailed guide to activities of government departments, civil society, the private sector, regional institutions and international partners to advance climate resilience and the restoration of land, water and livelihoods in Lesotho’s catchment areas.
The plan was developed through a series of 11 planning meetings across the country. Its action areas include catchment management, policy & governance, finance & investment, skills & knowledge, awareness & behaviour change, and data & monitoring.
It was adopted in a meeting of senior officials from the ministries responsible for water; forestry, range and soil conservation; agriculture; environment; and local government.
