Investing in Water and Environment – Budget Brief

Due to the shift from Sector Based Budgeting to Programme Based Budgeting, the water and environment sector lies under the Natural Resources, Environment, Climate Change, Land and Water Management Development programme, the Agro-industrialization programme and the Human Capital Development programmes of the third National Development Plan. This brief therefore assesses the contribution of the water and environment sector to the new Governance and Security programme as articulated in the NDPIII.
