This case study represents how the Disaster Management Authority (DMA), the department of Building Design Services (BDS) under the Ministry of Public Works and Transport, and the Lesotho Defence Force (LDF) have been building houses for vulnerable households affected by hazards such as strong winds/windstorms, hailstorms and heavy rains. This is an ongoing housing programme, and every year, depending upon the need, houses are being constructed through various mechanisms, including engaging contractors. The DMA ensures that homes are built resiliently. The case study provides the implementation framework for the housing programme, the details of the various technologies used for creating the houses and the policy and financial challenges faced by the DMA in implementation.
