The country has advanced on several fronts, from the tall dams that utilize its copious water resources to the dazzling mines that produce priceless gems . Innovative irrigation projects support agriculture, the backbone of the economy, and pave the way for sustainability in energy infrastructure advancements . In the midst of these developments, infrastructure expenditures in healthcare represent a dedication to the welfare of the populace. Taken as a whole, these revolutionary projects represent Lesotho's path to development and wealth.

2. Hospitals and Healthcare Infrastructure With an emphasis on enhancing both infrastructure and service delivery, Lesotho has set out to fortify its healthcare system . To provide equal access to healthcare services across the country, new hospitals and healthcare facilities have been built, especially in rural areas.

4. Dams and Electricity: The Lesotho Highlands Water Project (LHWP) stands as a testament to Lesotho's ingenuity and resourcefulness in harnessing its abundant water resources. The project comprises a network of dams, tunnels, and hydroelectric power stations, not only supplying water to South Africa but also generating electricity for domestic consumption and export. The development of hydroelectric power has positioned Lesotho as a regional leader in renewable energy, contributing to environmental sustainability and economic growth.

5. Katse dam The Katse dam, in the Lesotho Highlands, is one of the most spectacular water features in the country. Located on the Malibamats’o River, this dam was completed in 1997 and is central to the Lesotho Highlands Water Project . The impressive dam wall is 185m high, 700m long and contains 92 000 cubic metres of concrete .

6. Con. Muela Hydropower station(electricity) The hydropower plant at ‘Muela, in the northern Botha-Bothe District, was constructed as part of Phase 1A of the LHWP. The major benefit now derived from ‘Muela Hydropower Station is that Lesotho generates her own electricity needs. Technically , the station consists of the 60m x 1.30m x 15m underground power house cavern that accommodates three transformers, and three turbine generators rated at 24 Mega Watts (MW) each. The Station is fed water by the Katse Reservoir via a 45km-long concrete lined transfer tunnel measuring 4.35 metres in diameter. The power generation process is affected via water that passes through the hydraulic turbines as the prime mover for the generators. Water is then discharged through the draft tubes and concrete lined connection tunnels into a 40 metres high downstream surge chamber and through 1.7km long tailrace tunnel into ‘Muela Reservoir

7. EDUCATION INFRASTRUCTURE In Lesotho, education is getting better in many ways. More kids are going to school, and they`re learning important things to help them in life. The government is making sure schools have good teachers, books, and buildings. Lesotho has made significant progress in its efforts towards Education for All by introducing Free Primary Education from 2000 through 2006, which was then reinforced to Free and Compulsory Primary Education by law in 2010. The net enrollment ratio in lower basic education increased from 82% to 95% between 2000 and 2010, and the gross enrollment ratio in grade 1 was 98% in 2014.

9. Livestock infrastructure significant developments in livestock infrastructure represent a substantial progression in the agricultural sector, particularly focusing on enhancing the conditions and facilities related to livestock farming . The extensive livestock population comprises cattle, sheep, goats, horses and donkeys . Extensive livestock production farming practice is largely found in the Foothills and Mountains of the country . Conservation of forage at present is a problem because farmers are reluctant to grow fodder to supplement the pastures. The problem is further compounded by the high prices of fodder and supplementary feed imported in to the country.
