At the Aid Coordination Forum, the Minister of Finance and Development Planning, Dr Matlanyane highlighted a growing concern: young people in Lesotho are losing hope in the face of rising unemployment and the changing aid financial landscape.

To restore confidence and build a brighter future, Lesotho must focus on empowering young people for entrepreneurship, creating space for innovation and strengthening private sector engagement. Together, these actions can unlock opportunities and transform challenges into sustainable solutions for the next generation.

“Geography should never define destiny,” said UN Secretary-General António Guterres at the opening of the Conference in Turkmenistan.

As a landlocked country, Lesotho faces challenges in trade, transit, and digital access. But these barriers must not define our future.

Lesotho joins 31 other landlocked developing countries in pushing for fairer global systems, stronger regional cooperation, and innovative solutions that ensure no nation is left behind.
