The Wool and Mohair Promotion Project (WAMPP) is designed to boost resilience to the adverse of effects of climate change and economic shocks among poor rural people across the country.

The project has three components:

  • Climate-smart rangeland management
  • Improved production and management of livestock
  • Improved handling and marketing strategies for wool and mohair fibres.

WAMPP is active in all 10 of Lesotho's administrative districts, with a focus on the rangelands that cover more than two thirds of the country's surface. Activities will target smallholder farmers and other poor rural dwellers, giving special attention to poor rural women and young people in the project area.
