ACTION POINTS FOR LEGISLATORS
Strengthen the policy, legal and institutional framework for managing air, water and land pollution by creating standards and the ability of government agencies to com- petently enforce them. Some of these standards include those for municipal landfills, vehicle emissions, and in- dustrial air and water pollution. Develop alternative and affordable sources of energy such as solar, small-scale hydropower, geothermal and others so as to reduce urban and rural reliance on fuelwood. Ensure greater protection to wetlands that provide af- fordable and natural treatment of wastewater entering Lake Victoria and other important water bodies.
