Lesotho Integrated Transport, Trade and Logistics Project

active

The proposed restructuring of the Lesotho Integrated Transport, Trade and Logistics Project (LITTLP) introduces a new component to support the rehabilitation and strengthening of critical aviation infrastructure. In addition to the original scope - which includes the upgrading of the Katse to Thaba-Tseka road corridor, spot improvements along the A1 corridor, and investments in regional trade facilitation such as cold chain logistics and smart border management systems - the restructured project will finance safety, security, and climate resilience improvements at Moshoeshoe I International Airport. Activities include procurement of air traffic control and aviation security equipment, rehabilitation of the main runway, and institutional capacity building for airport operations. The restructuring addresses urgent infrastructure and operational vulnerabilities in the aviation sector, supports climate adaptation, and is aligned with Lesotho’s broader transport and connectivity objectives.
