As a result every district has a LESDEP Coordinator who are ensuring the smooth running of the programme,” the president said.He said people who want to benefit from the programme must therefore register at the district level adding “you choose which profession you want to learn and then we’ll put you in the profession.”He said LESDEP will continue to provide those who graduate from the programme with the needed machines to start up their own businesses.
