Descripción
Over three-quarters of Lesotho’s population resides inrural areas, with agriculture and livestock being centralto their livelihood and the rural economy. In particular, sheep and goats produce wool and mohair, which are the primary national export commodity. The growth and sustainability of the sector, however, are threatened bya variety of factors, including the outbreak of animal diseases. The Government of Lesotho has recognized and acknowledged that the technical and operational capacities for dealing with animal disease have deteriorated, leaving the country with poor surveillance measures for early detection and rapid response.
