ORASECOM (Orange-Senqu River Commission) is a river basin organization that operates in Lesotho as part of its broader mandate across the Orange-Senqu River basin. Established by the governments of Botswana, Lesotho, Namibia, and South Africa, the commission facilitates cooperative management of shared water resources, with Lesotho being a critical upstream member state due to its highlands water projects. In Lesotho, ORASECOM supports integrated water resource management, promotes sustainable development, and coordinates transboundary water governance to ensure equitable access for communities and industries. The organization works closely with Lesotho’s national water authorities to address challenges such as climate variability, infrastructure development, and environmental protection in the Senqu River catchment. Its presence in Lesotho reflects the country’s strategic importance as a major water source for the broader southern African region.
