Creation of specialised land courts has led to a speedy recovery of land-related disputes thus reinforcing protection the right to property in Lesotho. Challenges 135. Rapid growth and uncontrolled expansion of informal housing in urban and peri-urban areas has resulted in large numbers of residents without clearly defined property rights. In reaction to this challenge, the government of Lesotho with the financial and technical assistance of the (Millennium Challenge Account) MCA, launched the Land Administration Reform Activity which provided legal title to the occupants of the parcels/plots at no cost in accordance with the Land Act 2010. 136. The Land Administration Authority is currently engaged in similar project on systematic land regularization in Semonkong, where occupants apply to have leases registered in their names at no cost. This has helped people in remote rural areas, men and women, married, unmarried and widows, as well as people with disabilities, to have access to land administration services. 137. Due to limited resources, the government of Lesotho has not yet been able to implement the systematic land regularization project nationwide.
