Lesotho 21% open

Election data are available per constituency, but in pdf-format and without clear license. Latest update is 2012.

Aggregated budget data for current fiscal year 2013/2014 are available in pdf format as part of the budget speech. For fiscal year 2014/2015, there is a document entitled Background to the budget speech containing some estimates and forecasts for revenues and expenditures.

There are open files and licenced files.

Licensed files: This approach involves a signed agreement between the National Data Archive and external trusted users, to permit them to access semi-anonymized data files. Licensing agreements are only entered into with bona fideusers when there is an appropriate sponsoring institution or referee. Users must be able to:

Those interested in accessing the data under license should fill our Licensed Dataset Request Form. Requests are evaluated by a our Microdata Release Panel. When the decision is made to grant access to the data, users will receive them through secure ftp server.

Thematic maps are used to provide cartographical (or specific) information on various themes such as tourism, population percentage change or nature reserves. The maps are of scale 1:250 000 in hardcopies and digital formats.

Lesotho has a computer system for government procurement and spending (http://www.finance.gov.ls/regulations/GOL_Procurement_System_Features.pdf). Therefore, we can assume that the data does exist and is in digital form. However, there is no specific document for monthly government spending (http://www.finance.gov.ls/reforms/procurements.php). http://www.finance.gov.ls/documents/budget_book.php

According to the Department of Environment in the government of Lesotho, there is a data clearing house which monitor air pollutions. However, it is not accessible online, and there is no information about how one can access the data. I tried to phone the department, but no one was able to help me.

Contains summary statistics on 23100 companies registered in Lesotho but no data published

There are non-government resources available only - for instance http://www.geopostcodes.com/Lesotho and http://lso.geonamebase.com/. Data seemingly does not exist.

There are no timetables for public transport sector as the transport is informally operated. There are no passenger trains in Lesotho so there is no data for trains.
