A consensus among scholars is that good governance sustains economic growth. Therefore, countries that practice good governance have the potential for stronger economic growth. This research intends to find the relationship between the quality of governance and economic growth in Lesotho in order to recommend good governance practices that could improve the economy of Lesotho in order to better the lives of its citizens. Through a literature review, desktop research and quantitative research methods, the information of the sub-Saharan countries that are applying good governance and have achieved improved economic growth was utilised to develop these recommendations and analyse the official Lesotho government documents. The study findings revealed that the recommendations from the sub-Saharan countries and analysis of Lesotho government official documents, if adopted, can improve the quality of governance and economic growth in Lesotho to improve citizens' lives.enDissertationUniversity of the Free State
