Brief On Lake Victoria Environmental Management Project To The Ministers Of State Vice President’s Office

Abstract

Lake Victoria Environmental Management Project (LVEMP) is a comprehensive environmental program for the conservation of Lake Victoria and its basin. It is a regional Project formed under Tripartite Agreement signed on 5th August, 1994, by the three riparian countries – the Republic of Kenya, United Republic of Tanzania, and the Republic of Uganda; which provided for its preparation and implementation. The major objective of the LVEMP is to restore a healthy, varied lake ecosystem that is inherently stable and able to support, in a sustainable way, the increasing activities in the lake and its catchment for the benefit of the people of the riparian countries as well as the international community.
