Regional Expert for Policy Harmonisation in Support to Integrated Catchment Management (ICM) in Lesotho: drafting local level legislation (by-laws) and capacity building for local government institutions

The Government of Lesotho, with support from the European Union (EU) and the German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ), has embarked on a national programme for Integrated Catchment Management (ICM), known as ReNOKA (‘we are a river’). The sustainable management of Lesotho’s catchments are critically important for water, land, energy and food security not only in Lesotho itself but in the entire Orange-Senqu Basin. The Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) GmbH has been commissioned by the EU and BMZ to implement a technical cooperation project to support Integrated Catchment Management in Lesotho.

The programme works at national, catchments and local level where it relies on local authorities to integrate planning approaches and implement rehabilitation measures. Particularly Community Councils (CCs) need to be capacitated to deliver on their mandates by means of local level regulation.

GIZ therefore seeking to appoint a Regional Expert for Policy Harmonisation in Support to Integrated Catchment Management (ICM) in Lesotho: drafting local level legislation (by-laws) and capacity building for local government institutions.

 Key tasks include:

• Supporting selected pilot Community Councils in drafting by-laws
• Develop and institutionalize the process of by-law drafting and enacting in a guideline
• Training 12 legal officers and other relevant stakeholders on by-law drafting according to their respective responsibilities
