dc.description.abstract | Global processes of economic and political liberalisation in the early nineties have
dramatically changed the perceptions on the role and contribution of the private
sector in economic and social development. In the developing world, the private
sector is increasingly seen as the engine of growth and the prime mover of
development. The Lake Victoria Environmental Management Project (LVEMP) is a
regional and comprehensive environmental development program. The fundamental
objective of the Project is to restore a healthy, varied lake ecosystem that is
inherently stable and can support, in a sustainable way, the many human activities
in the catchment area and in the lake itself.
There are numerous documents on the many resources and opportunities that the
Lake Victoria basin (LVB) can provide. The paradox is that this strong resource
base is being sub-optimally exploited. A number of possible explanations have
been offered mainly clustered around constraints such as the poverty situation and
a high population concentration. The Lake Victoria basin is also facing serious
environmental stress. Concerted efforts are needed to protect catchments, land
resources, biodiversity, wildlife resources as well as proper and sustainable
utilisation of the vast emerging mineral wealth. | en_US |
