The LLDP is a programme of the Government of Lesotho, which benefits from technical and financial support from UNDP and UNCDF. It is a collaborative effort by central government, local governments and development partners to achieve poverty reduction and attain the MDGs through inclusive, responsive service delivery mechanisms.

The four-year programme has a nationwide impact as it supports different aspects of the process of implementation of the decentralisation across the country. However, from an operational point of view, it focuses on the three central districts (Maseru, Berea, and Thaba Tseka.)
