GROW requests financial support to undertake Capacity Development for GEF-SGP Grantees in the SGP Priority Landscape for Operational Phase Six and Operational Phase Seven (OP6 and OP7). This proposal recognizes that mountain communities are among ( ... )

As a result this region is inhabited by and large by rural communities with relatively low literacy rates and low capacities to implement and manage projects. The purpose of this Capacity Development project, in

CONTEXT
Lesotho being mainly a grassland, has very few and threatened indigenous shrub lands and vast areas of invasive shrubs that serve as the source of cooking, heating and lighting energy for rural households, particularly those in the ( ... )
in region. Other than caring for the families and engaging in non-cash activities like tilling the land and with local beer brewing bringing in a little income, rural communities, especially women and girls do not engage in economic activities and remain overly dependent on men, a situation that exacerbates child marriages and utter hopelessness. Unemployment is among the key developmental

Project is a pilot to implement biological and physical rehabilitation of the rangelands of Mot?eremeli and Ramosetsana Grazing areas, allocated for utilization and management to the Mofolaneng Grazing Association through delegation from the ( ... )
pal Chief of Tlokoeng.
Both grazing areas are utilized by livestock farmers for grazing during the winter season and as a strategy to rest the summer grazing for recovery. Over time and through repeated sessions of grazing livestock randomly, both grazing areas have been selectively overgrazed, to the extent that they have been seriously degraded. There are varying degrees of invasion of

Mokhotlong is a mountain district hosting one of the highest populations of wool producing sheep and goats, which makes small stock farming the mainstay of the economy of the district. Because of the rugged terrain, Mokhotlong is susceptible soil ( ... )
n because of the inherent high run-off. Thus the slighted upset in the vegetative cover and soil absorptive capacity result in excessive runoff that causes soil erosion and general land degradation. Land degradation is severe in Mokhotlong and alien invasive shrubs have invaded most if not all rangelands in the district, a factor that poses a threat to the wool and mohair industry. Severe
