Barriers and drivers of energy source adoption in rural lesotho
This study explores the barriers and drivers influencing energy source adoption in rural Lesotho, focusing on the villages of Machaping and Mohlanapeng. Employing Rational Choice Theory and Collective Action Theory, it examines how economic constraints, health risks, environmental concerns and infrastructural limitations shape energy preferences. In Machaping, where electricity is scarce, people mostly depend on traditional energy sources like co…
Community-driven approaches to rural electrification
Access to electricity is a pivotal driver of socio-economic development, particularly in rural areas where it enhances education, healthcare, and economic activities. Despite its significance, rural electrification remains a serious challenge in many developing countries, including Lesotho. This study examines the experiences of two rural communities, Kolo Hlahloeng and Bongalla, located in the Mafeteng District of Lesotho in their pursuit of ele…
Bridging accountability gaps
Energy poverty is a persistent barrier to socioeconomic development in Lesotho, especially in rural and remote communities. This study examines how political and social accountability shape energy access, focusing on interactions between public electricity providers, elected representatives, and community stakeholders.

The novelty of this paper lies in its illustration of the utility of transitional justice in situations of political instability that are not characterised by large-scale civil wars or vi…
Community imaginaries, participation and acceptance of renewable energy projects – substituting the quicksand of development with rocky fundamentals
Community participation could contribute to sustaining energy projects, however some projects underestimate the value of meaningful project host communities’ involvement in decision-making. Rural community energy development projects in Lesotho often assume a top-down development-driven approach void of communities’ perspectives and desires. This study investigates opportunities Lesotho’s renewable energy projects, either led by communities or th…
A comparative analysis of the causes of the protests in Southern Africa
Energy democracy in Lesotho
