Report library: Rural Livelihoods Southern African Food Crisis (and LRAP) Title: The Southern African Food Crisis, Lesotho Literature Review (LRAP Discussion Paper 1) Author: S.D. Turner Date: 29 April, 2003 Summary: The Government of Lesotho and CARE are undertaking a Livelihoods Recovery Through Agriculture Programme (LRAP) that aims to help Basotho address vulnerability in their livelihoods. It focuses on the promotion of homestead food production by poor vulnerable households; increasing the capacity of the Ministry of Agriculture to deliver client-led agriculture extension; the development and dissemination of materials on good agriculture practices; and an action-learning framework to help understand household strategies and refine governmental and non-governmental support to them. LRAP has commissioned this literature review to help it understand trends in the security and vulnerability of Basotho livelihoods, in a historical and regional context. The study complements similar work that CARE is undertaking in Malawi and Zambia.
