The new Strategic Plan is aligned to the Big Four Agenda of the government and Vision 2030. The plan offers clarity to the Authority’s vision, mission and strategies to enable NEMA better achieve its mandate.

The development and implementation of Strategic Plans in the public sector in Kenya is a critical pillar of the Results Based Management adopted by the Government since 2004. This enables the government to focus on outputs and outcomes rather than inputs and processes.

The new Strategic Plan will therefore enable the Authority to focus on the following Key Result Areas (KRAs) in the next five years; Environmental quality, protection and conservation, ecological integrity of ecosystems, climate change, environmental governance and coordination, Green economy for sustainable development and institutional capacity.

The Chief Guest was Chief Administration Secretary, Mr. Mohammed Elmi who represented the Environment and Forestry Cabinet Secretary Keriako Tobiko. In his statement, the CS emphasized that the ministry is committed to supporting NEMA in undertaking its mandate and Strategic Plan.
