Provision of mentorship to Tourism Operators in Lesotho

Lesotho Enterprise Assistance Program (LEAP) is a sub-component of the World Bank funded Private Sector Competitiveness and Economic Diversification project, whose primary objective is to facilitate increased private sector investment by improving the business environment and diversifying sources of growth.
