 Lesotho
has many environmental and environmental health problems related to
industrial practices, lack of environmental protection through the
law, land tenure issues and poor waste management.
Currently in Lesotho there is a relatively low ability of NGOs to
tackle these issues due to a lack of technical understanding and
training.
The Environmental Justice Programme seeks to build capacity in NGOs
to respond to, lobby against and monitor some of the major
environmental justice issues in Lesotho.
The programme has a working group of 6 NGO’s who have recognised 7
pertinent areas for Lesotho in terms of Environmental Justice –
mining & quarrying, land tenure, textile industry, conservation,
environmental law, water issues – dams, pollution & access, waste
management
