National Policy on Environment 2009 Zambia
In Zambia, development programmes are using environmental resources at an increasing rate. With a fast growing population the drive to meet goals set out in national development strategies and in international conventions, most recently defined in the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs), has likewise accelerated.
The Government has developed a National Policy on Environment to avoid conflict of interest, harmonise sectoral strategies, and rationalise legislation that concern the use and management of environment in order to attain an integrated approach to development through a national cross-cutting consensus.
This Policy was developed through a comprehensive research and consultative process and would be fully integrated in principles of decentralisation, community participation and privatisation that underpin sustainable development.
