tailieunhanh - National Environmental Policy

The Environment Agency will have a new strategic overview role for all forms of flood risk, including groundwater and surface water for which no body has previously been clearly responsible. The Environment Agency will lead and co-ordinate the planning and management of all sources of flood risk while retaining operational responsibility for main rivers and coastal flooding. The Environment Agency will work closely with local authorities on their on-the-ground management of surface water flooding so comprehensive assessments of local flood risk will be possible for the first time. The rest of Section two gives an overview of the approach to flood. | THE UNITED REPUBLIC OF TANZANIA NATIONAL ENVIRONMENTAL POLICY VICE PRESIDENT S OFFICE DAR ES SALAAM DECEMBER 1997 Table of Contents Page CHAPTER ONE 1 INTRODUCTION 1 CHAPTER TWO 6 THE STATE OF THE ENVIRONMENT 6 CHAPTER THREE 9 OVERALL POLICY OBJECTIVES 9 SECTORAL AND CROSS- SECTORAL POLICIES 10 Cross-sectoral Policies 10 Addressing Poverty 10 Demographic dynamics 11 Land tenure 12 Technology 13 Biodiversity 13 Public Participation and Education 14 Private Sector and NGOs 16 The Enhanced Role of Women 17 Sectoral Policies 18 Agriculture 18 Livestock 19 Water and Sanitation 20 Health 21 Transport 21 Energy 21 i Mining 22 Human Settlements 23 Industry 23 Tourism 24 Wildlife 25 Forestry 25 Fisheries 26 CHAPTER FOUR 27 INSTRUMENTS FOR ENVIRONMENTAL POLICY 27 Environmental Impact Assessment 27 Environmental Legislation 29 Economic Instruments 30 Environmental Standards and Indicators 31 Precautionary Approach 32 International Cooperation 33 CHAPTER FIVE 35 INSTITUTIONAL ARRANGEMENT 35 Ministry responsible for Environment 35 Lead Ministries 37 Advisory bodies 38 National Environment Management Council 39 Local Authorities 39 Committees on the Environment 40 Institutional Capacity-Building 40 .
