Description

In 2010, Chinese and Basotho officials signed an exchange of letters for the Land Use and Planning Technical Cooperation project (援莱索托土地利用与规划技术合作项目). This project is funded by the Chinese government for an unspecified amount. Under this program, Chinese experts traveled to Lesotho to conduct two one-month-long training courses. The in-China training component of this project is captured in project #71610. The value of this project is unknown. The project lasted for two years between 15 August 2011 and 8 January 2013. The Lesotho Ministry of Local Government and Chieftainship worked with three Chinese land survey and planning institutes, the National, Jiangxi, and Heilongjian institutes. The purpose of this project was to teach Basotho officials how to regulate, manage, physically plan, and delegate land in Lesotho. The fruits of this program include: a digital map covering the 30,344 square km of the entirety of Lesotho, a three-level land use planning and management system, a database, and new national land use guidelines.
