Challenges

• Eucalyptus in water catchments areas
• Noise and air pollution from quarries, factories disposal sites.
• Disposal of wastes (solid effluents) causing water related diseases out-break
• Pressure on existing resources from population increase and mushrooming residential areas
• Over-grazing and farming along river banks
• Climate change and carbon emission - these cause diseases out-breaks e.g. malaria and respiratory related diseases
• Lack of systematic information dissemination among locals
• Soil erosion.

 

Interventions

• Education and awareness creation on tree planting, handling of wastes at home/family level and Land use system
• Rehabilitation of forests through stakeholders committees
• Waste recycling program
• Development of green energy and practices strategy-biogas
• Environmental rules enforcement e.g. creation of complainants table
