The Full Story

The Government of the Kingdom of Lethoso, in Southern Africa, will be sending a technical team to Jamaica to study land distribution strategies used by the National Land Agency (NLA).

This was disclosed by Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of the NLA, Elizabeth Stair, when she delivered her report at a Heads of Agencies and Departments meeting of the Ministry of Water, Land, Environment and Climate Change,  on December  16.

The group from Lesotho will consist of eight technocrats and administrators from the Land Administration Authority, and will be guests of the NLA for four days, from January 25 to 28, 2016.

Mrs. Stair said the delegates will be visiting the NLA to observe the agency’s Land Registry, Cadastre and Estate Management systems, so they can improve their land administration and management in Lesotho.

She informed the meeting that several regional and international Government agencies and groups have already visited the NLA and examined the agency’s land management and land administration systems.

Some of the delegations which have visited the NLA came from the Republic of Azerbaijan, Cayman Islands, Grenada, Tanzania, Liberia, Republic of Trinidad and Tobago and Turks and Caicos.

Lesotho is a democratic, sovereign and independent country surrounded by its neighbour, the Republic of South Africa. The country, formerly known as Basutoland, was renamed the Kingdom of Lesotho upon gaining independence from Britain in 1966.
