INTERIM LEVEL INSTITUTION AND DUTIES

National Integrated Land Use and Policy plan implementation-regulatory and enforcement office has not established yet. Integrated land-use plans of other regions are still in the making. To this effect, the completion of the GPNRS land use plan and policy is a pioneer work. As much as it has led the development of the integrated land-use plan both in the rural and urban settings, it will also have to lead in the establishment of an independent high-level Regional Land Use Plan Implementation-Regulatory and Enforcement & plan updating Bureau (LUP IMRE&PUB). However, such an institution can be created through a process of consultation that cannot fruit overnight.
