Description
The IGAD Environment and Natural Resources Strategy provides a comprehensive and coherent framework aimed at guiding IGAD programmes in the area of environment and natural resources.
The development of this strategy was complemented by the previous one whose main focus was drought and desertification; and by others that addressed issues of peace and security, food security, gender, etc.
The strategy document is composed of four main sections. Section One introduces an overview of the profile of the IGAD region highlighting the economic and social conditions. Section Two contains the situational analysis. It gives a brief overview of the state of the environment and natural resources in the region and an outline of the evolution of environment and natural resources policy and strategy making at IGAD.
Section Three is the strategy itself designed to realise the overall IGAD vision and mission. The overall goal of the IGAD Environment and Natural Resources Strategy is to assist and complement the efforts of the member states in environment and natural resources management. Section Four of the strategy deals with its implementation modalities. It includes institutional collaboration, sources for financing the implementation of the strategy, and the need for cooperation with other international
and regional organizations.
