Lesotho Develops Integrated National Financing Strategy with UNDP Support

The Government of Lesotho, through the Ministry of Finance and Development Planning, is advancing the development of the country’s Integrated National Financing Strategy (INFS). Supported by the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), the INFS aims to strengthen the mobilisation and utilisation of financial resources to drive sustainable development.

The strategy will provide a structured framework for aligning national financing priorities with Lesotho’s development goals, ensuring that public, private, and international resources are efficiently directed toward key sectors. It is designed to promote transparency, accountability, and long-term fiscal sustainability while fostering investment and economic growth.

As part of the INFS development process, a two-day workshop will bring together stakeholders from government, the private sector, civil society, and development partners. The workshop will focus on identifying national financing priorities, sharing insights on innovative financing mechanisms, and exploring approaches to accelerate progress on Lesotho’s development objectives.

This initiative reflects the government’s commitment to strengthening financial planning and leveraging all available resources to achieve sustainable economic and social outcomes. The INFS is expected to provide a practical roadmap for financing national development while supporting Lesotho’s broader strategic and policy goals.
