With this background, this paper will examine how research information is disseminated in Lesotho. In order for research to make a meaningful contribution towards enhancing peoples's lives, it should address their practical problems. The success of this depends heavily on how well it is disseminated. Research results that kept by individual researchers or organizations and do not reach other people who could benefit do indeed render such research efforts futile. Information Information has got many meanings depending on the context in which it is used.
Some people define it as factual data, statistics, spoken word, news or published word.
Others believe it is knowledge that is shared. Therefore, what an individual knows becomes more useful if it is shared with other people. Research Research involves an investigation that usually results in finding information that could be used to find a solution to a problem. In some cases, research verifies an existing fact or can completely change previously held opinion about something. Research should therefore build up to the existing knowledge.
