Lesotho Health and Horticulture Compact

With MCC Support, 10-Year Local Advocacy Effort for Women’s Rights on Target for Success
Policy reforms supported by MCC compacts in Lesotho usher in a new era of gender equality in Lesotho.
MCC’s second compact with the Government of Lesotho seeks to ensure greater access to quality healthcare, create equitable business development opportunities, invest in high-value crop production, and boost profits and formal employment for women- and youth-owned enterprises. The compact also aims to address some of the unique challenges faced by women and youth in Lesotho by providing better legal protections in land tenure and more skills training and business development opportunities. The compact is comprised of three projects designed to combat constraints to economic growth by either strengthening private sector participation or by improving government coordination, capacity, and execution.
