This book examines Lesotho's evolution from its post-1993 democratisation, offering insights for those interested in strengthening local governance and decentralisation efforts.
Discover Lesotho's transformative journey towards decentralisation and robust local governance in this comprehensive volume. Drawing on contributions from experts in law, political studies, urban planning, environmental studies, and more, the book chronicles the nation's evolution from post-democracy reformation in 1993 and the pioneering local government elections of 2005 to the complex challenges that persist today. It explores the impact of key legal frameworks, financial constraints, and traditional power dynamics on efforts to empower local authorities and improve service delivery. This volume is perfect for researchers, academics, students, policymakers, government officials, and practitioners seeking to deepen their understanding of decentralisation and its practical application in redefining governance in Lesotho.
