national environment trust fund(kenya)

National Environment Trust Fund (NETFUND) is a government organization established under the Environment Management and Co-ordination Act (EMCA 1999) by the Ministry of Environment and Natural Resources. EMCAs objectives were to coordinate lead agencies and streamline 77 scattered pieces of environmental leg­islations in order to establish a coherent institutional framework for environmental management in the country. In this respect, EMCA section 24 established the National Environment Trust Fund (NETFUND) to mobilize, manage and avail resources for various aspects of environmental management. NETFUND is a fund through which the government, multi laterals, bilateral, corporate bodies, individuals and other organizations can fund environmental, natural resources and climate change activities in Kenya.
