The Department for International Development (DFID) bilateral programme to Lesotho, which last year totalled £3.7 million, represents a small fraction of Lesotho's overall aid. Our experience is that such small programmes often struggle to achieve sufficient impact.Lesotho is classed as a lower middle income country based on its gross national income per head. Even without the DFID bilateral programme, Lesotho will continue to receive more aid per person than most African countries, including some which are far poorer than Lesotho in income terms. DFID will continue to provide around £10 million to Lesotho each year through the EU, World Bank, debt relief and international non-governmental organisations. |
