It is a programmatic framework defining interventions related to the environment and natural resource management. It constitutes the reference document for the Ministry of the Environment and Forestry Resources interventions over the period 2018-2022, and serves as a basis for drawing up sectoral development projects and investment projects. The framework seeks an inclusion of environmental concerns, including climate change mitigation and adaptation aspects, into sectoral policies, and sets a budget to finance actions in forestry and other environments.
