AGP Executive Report

Last update: 6 hours ago

World Economy Watch: The World Bank says Sub-Saharan Africa growth will slow slightly in 2026 to 4.0% as higher energy costs, weaker demand and tight public finances bite, though 2025 growth held up at 4.1% on better commodity prices and easing inflation. Electricity Tariffs & Consumer Rights: A Lesotho High Court ruling on electricity tariff increases leaves a key process point for future reviews: if LEC seeks a new increase, it must submit audited financial statements for the relevant year, with timelines tied to 30 September 2026. Education & Inclusion: At the SAAEA conference in Maseru, Prof Paseka Mosia argues assessments must stop copying colonial blueprints and reflect rural Basotho realities, warning that tests can drive teaching to the exam. Local Security Support: Quthing District Administrator hands over 300 blankets and 20 radios to village crime prevention committees to strengthen community safety around the Lets’eng-La-Letsie catchment. Public Accountability: Lesotho’s DCEO publishes names of officials who declared assets for 2025/26, reinforcing transparency under the Prevention of Corruption and Economic Offences Act. Health & Social Protection: Help Lesotho marks World Elder Abuse Awareness Day, urging communities to protect older persons from emotional, physical and financial abuse. Agriculture for Food Security: Schools in Lesotho are boosting agricultural production to improve nutrition and cut food costs, with farming now built into learner training.
