low GDP per capita further constrains the ability of industry, institutions and individuals
to invest in and make use of ICTs.
The implementation of this policy will be an immense challenge for Lesotho with its
limited financial resources and low levels of ICT penetration and literacy. Political
leadership and a shared vision will be critical to its success. I am confident that we will
succeed in this grand undertaking to transform our nation into a knowledge-based society
and call upon all stakeholders to actively participate.
