The Orange-Senqu River Commission (ORASECOM) is a river basin organization established by the governments of Botswana, Lesotho, Namibia, and South Africa to promote equitable and sustainable development of the Orange-Senqu River system. In Lesotho, ORASECOM operates through its national focal point, coordinating water resource management policies and projects that affect the Senqu River basin, which forms a critical part of the country’s water infrastructure. The commission facilitates joint technical studies, data sharing, and infrastructure planning between member states, with Lesotho’s participation being essential given the country’s position as the source of the Orange River. ORASECOM’s work in Lesotho supports the implementation of the Lesotho Highlands Water Project and ensures that national water development aligns with broader regional agreements. The organization is headquartered in Pretoria, South Africa, but maintains active engagement with Lesotho’s Department of Water Affairs through regular meetings and collaborative programs.
