NATURAL RESOURCE MANAGEMENT (NRM)

The management and distribution of Natural Resources is critical to the country. APSEA has began to engage with stakeholders to address the issue of equitable distribution and management of resources in the counties. Resources that are available and are being discovered (such as oil in Turkana) should benefit the whole nation but also provide benefits to the community where the resources are discovered.

Currently there is no policy or legislation addressing the equitable distribution and management of resources which will bring about a challenge when the counties are formulated. As such, APSEA has created a Technical Committee on Natural Resource Management and is in the process of developing a Policy Paper and Draft Bill to address the issue of equitable distribution of resources and ensure they are properly managed for the benefit of the country as a whole.
