National Shelter Policy Development, Lesotho
USAID, Lesotho, March 1998 – April 2000


TCGI was contracted directly to assist the government in developing a national policy for improving shelter and urban conditions throughout Lesotho. The policy will guide planning and investment in the housing sector as well as assisting the government to obtain additional financing both from internal and external sources. This project is being implemented in three phases. During phase one, TGCI prepared a rapid sector assessment, which analyzed both the formal and informal aspects of the housing sector by focusing on three main activities: shelter delivery, urban management and resource mobilization. Based on this assessment, TCGI drafted a National Shelter Policy and, in phase three, TCGI will work to develop consensus among stakeholders and key Basotho policy-makers for adopting the policy.
