Lesotho's has stopped from being just an anecdote but a full agenda conversation. Culture and Creative Industries Lesotho has embarked on trusting the process; doing things right. The process of the Cultural Policy Review is being guided by the UNESCO 2005 Convention Framework on Digital Environment Mapping.

1. Key to this process is mapping the sector through a robust consultation and data collection process from ground up where culture and creative practitioners and stakeholders define policy framing.
2. Formation of the National Team and Working Groups who will drive coordination and consultation for cultural policy review by and for the creative community
3. Curating and Creativity as an integral part of the national value system for a robust economic vibrancy-a practical mechanism that will unlock opportunity

Ministry of Tourism, Sports, Arts and Culture Department of Arts and Culture and Lesotho National Commission for Unesco are leading the process.
