The ITU Telecommunication Development Sector (ITU-D) has been providing technical support in drafting a National Digital Transformation Strategy for Lesotho.

In June, the Ministry of ICT of Lesotho hosted stakeholder consultations for the review of the National Digital Transformation Strategy developed together with ITU-D. The Strategy details the specific actions and initiatives needed to be achieved by 2030 and has identified critical medium to short term interventions in 5 pillars from enabling environment, digital government, digital Infrastructure, digital population, and digital business. The consultation also saw the review of another key document, the Draft National Digital Policy.

The National Digital Transformation Strategy will be submitted to the Parliament for review and approval following the stakeholders’ consultations.

“I commend the Minister and her team for the excellent leadership throughout the co-designing process during the drafting of Lesotho’s National Digital Transformation Strategy. ITU-D is proud to provide the necessary products, services and tools to support countries, as in this case, in their journey towards sustainable digital transformation,” said Dr Cosmas Luckyson Zavazava, Director, ITU Telecommunication Development Bureau.
