Concluding RemarksGenerally budget limitation has for the past

years been decreasing and therefore greatly affecting the performance of the Office particularly the Department and NEMC in safeguarding the Environment in the country

We appreciate the support provided by Development Partners for your contribution and support to protect the environment and promotion of sustainable Development

Your support is still highly needed now because the budget allocation from Ministry of Finance is insufficient to address the environmental challenges facing the country 10
