Micro Business Development

Project Overview –

​

BEDCO acknowledges that enterprises in Lesotho remain informal as a result of limited information and the support required to register. Other factors include low inspection and enforcement capacity, high registration and compliance costs, and others. The Micro Business Development Project therefore seeks to provide a platform that will facilitate the registration, licensing and compliance of micro and informal business across the country. This will be done through collaborative efforts between BEDCO and relevant stakeholders.
