Climate change programming and natural resource management are of crucial importance for increasing the productivity and general well-being of the broader agriculture sector in Lesotho. FAO has been developing a number of complementary projects with a focus on the environment, natural resource management and climate change adaptation. One of these initiatives has been instrumental in bringing users and generators of spatial data on one platform and facilitating the land cover assessment work including the accompanying interpretation processes under the technical guidance of FAO experts. As a result, major progress has been achieved in developing Lesotho’s land cover maps. This information will provide an important baseline for planning sustainable land management interventions and broader natural resource management activities.
