Improving agricultural infrastructure and relationships while prioritizing climate investments
The Government of Lesotho and the Millennium Challenge Corporation (MCC) have partnered on a $300 million compact to improve healthcare and boost the horticulture sector. One of the key components of this compact is the Market Driven Irrigated Horticulture Project, which focuses on investing in climate-smart irrigation infrastructure and encouraging commercial farmers to collaborate with local small-holder farmers. MCC selected us as the lead consultant for this project.
We’re providing advisory services from pre-compact feasibility study review through construction monitoring for the design and implementation of necessary infrastructure. This project relies heavily on collaboration across multiple disciplines to mitigate environmental and social risks and support training programs that help transition farmers from rainfed subsistence farming to irrigated horticulture.
By prioritizing climate investments now to counter the risks of climate change, MCC’s objective for this and other similar projects is to reduce poverty through inclusive economic growth and more sustainable practices.
