The study focused on how these saving groups could transition from savings-oriented activities to agro-entrepreneurship by utilizing the Lesotho Impact Investment Fund and Technical Assistance Facility under Lesotho Compact II. Covering five districts in Lesotho, the study engaged 95 saving groups and 45 MSMEs through focus group discussions, interviews, and innovative mobile-based digital bookkeeping app (DBA) piloting. The DBA streamlined financial management, integrating realtime market data to enable informed decision-making. Through this initiative, 4D Climate Solutions demonstrated its commitment to fostering financial empowerment and sustainable development in the region.
