The blog post from Apollo Foundation points out that Lesotho has a large number of opportunities to improve its economy, including the export-import sector, remittances from workers, and the mining and trade of diamonds.
Apollo blockchain technology is seen as a key solution to improving government services and initiatives, reducing the friction of cross-border remittance payments, and advancing the commercialization and trade of mineral wealth, especially diamonds.
