The Strategic Action Programme for the Sustainable Management of Lake Tanganyika July 2000

The Strategic Action Programme for the Sustainable Management of Lake Tanganyika establishes an agreed framework for implementing priority interventions to promote conservation of biodiversity and the sustainable use of the lake and coastal resources and to manage activities in the wider catchment that have negative impacts on these resources.
This document is the result of the regional planning process undertaken with the support of The Lake Tanganyika Biodiversity Project, “Pollution Control and ther Measures to Protect Biodiversity in Lake Tanganyika”, financed under the UNDP/Global Environmental Facility (GEF). In January 1998 the project Regional Steering Committee gave the task of preparing the Strategic Action Programme (SAP) to the Technical Advisory Committee SAP Planning Group, with representation from each country led by the National Coordinator.
