Human Development Reports - United Nations Development Programme

This Report discusses the state of human development in Lesotho at the turn of this new millennium. Almost seven yea rs into this century, Lesotho has been faced with a combination of problems that do not seem to be amenable to easy solution, and that threaten to hold back, even reverse, its socio -economic progress. The nexus of the mutually reinforcing effects of chronic poverty, inequality and food insecurity is being compounded by the impact of the pervasive and growing HIV epidemic.
