Capacity building Lesotho

Capacity building in Lesotho is set up to train participants with various backgrounds, such as the Lesotho Meteorological Service (LMS), the Ministry of Agriculture and Food Security (MAFS), Burea of Statistics and agro-extension officers from across the country. Weather Impact developed trainings to create local ownership of agro-weather tools, and facilitate sustainability after the project ends. By combining all expertise of the different stakeholders and strengthen their collaboration and capacity, agro weather tools can be implemented and used succesfully. This way Weather Impact contributes to the legacy of the service.

“It has been so great to be in this training and this is going to help us to help our farmers to plant their crops in the right timing in line with weather expectations, and do the cropping activities the right way.”
