A Historic Signing: In a moment that will be remembered for years to come, the Honorable Minister officially signed the Lesotho Poultry Development Policy into power, signaling a new era of support and structure for our farmers.
Engaging Dialogue: A special thank you to Dr. Jacqueline Olweya from UNDP Lesotho, whose presence and insights created a truly interactive and dynamic launch experience.
