The ENRMMP is an initiative of the Government of the Republic of Zambia (GRZ) that aims to bring improved coordination and implementation capacity to the Environment and Natural Resources (ENR) management sector. The programme is based on the principles, priorities and objectives of Zambia's Fifth National Development Plan (FNDP).
The programme design has been determined in recognition of the urgent need to deal with key environmental issues and an acceptance that the current management capacity is insufficient for the challenges faced.
The programme was formulated under the guidance of a joint task force led by the Ministry of Tourism, Environment and Natural Resources (MTENR). The task force included representatives from MTENR departments and statutory bodies and Cooperating Partners (CPs) interested in a joint mechanism for supporting the sector (Finland, Denmark, Norway and United Nations Development Programme (UNDP). The aim of the task force was to produce a framework that would coordinate assistance to the entire sector.
MTENR intends, as far as reasonably possible, to use the ENRMMP as the umbrella vehicle for all CP intervention in the Tourism, Environment and Natural Resources sector, and it is anticipated that other CPs seeking to participate in this sector may provide funding through this Programme, including, for example, for climate change interventions.
