It should be noted, however, that the 23 Maseru prioritised projects are at varying stages of
development. Some are at conceptual stage, while others are at advanced stages of project
preparation. Some of the projects, such as the Water Supply and Sanitation at 12 Locations Project
(Project XB‐5), need further detailed investigation, especially to assess their cross‐border nature. At
the time of compiling the report for the Investor Conference in Maseru, consultations on the cross‐
border projects have not been completed with all the potential participating countries, and more
follow‐up action is required to bring all potential participating countries together for consensus on
the projects. However, the majority of the 23 projects were selected on the basis of their readiness
for implementation, rather than for their contribution towards the Vision 2027 Water Sector targets.
The Water Sector RIDMP projects are fully described in the Annexure.
