Government of Lesotho Jobs - PROJECT ACCOUNTANT

BACKGROUND
The Government of Lesotho (GoL) is committed to fight poverty, accelerate economic growth and improve the welfare of the Basotho. In 2004, GoL launched the National Vision 2020, which outlines the overall national development framework that defines the aspirations of the people of Lesotho. The 2005-2008 Poverty Reduction Strategy (PRSP) attempted to translate National Vision 2020 into actions which would accelerate inclusive economic growth. One of the four pillars of the PRSP is private sector development (PSD), which when implemented would lead to equitable economic growth and rapid employment creation. The National Strategic Development Plan (NSDP) 2012/13 – 2016/17 builds upon the PRSP. Similarly, the NSDP embraces increased private sector participation in the economy, with specific emphasis on improved business environment; support for productive sector to diversify the economy; and greater participation of MSMEs in the formal economy.

In December 2016, the African Development Bank (AfDB) approved funding to finance the Economic Diversification Support Project (EDSP) with the aim to support government’s efforts to create jobs and promote inclusive growth through enhanced economic diversification and strengthened enterprise development. The specific objective of the Project is to support private sector development through improving partnership, entrepreneurship and skills development, and investment promotion in the selected sectors critical for economic diversification. The Project has three mutually reinforcing components: (i) enhancing economic diversification; (ii) promoting enterprise development; and (iii) project management support.
