Lesotho’s economy is heavily reliant on agriculture, remittances, and textile manufacturing. Government policies emphasize infrastructure development and poverty alleviation but are constrained by limited resources and dependency on South Africa. Regulatory frameworks are underdeveloped, deterring foreign investment. Society faces widespread poverty, high unemployment, and health challenges, particularly due to high HIV/AIDS prevalence. Education is accessible but underfunded, with limited alignment to labor market needs. Climate risks, such as droughts and floods, threaten agricultural productivity. Healthcare services are improving but remain under-resourced.
