Company Profile

Company Description:

The East African Community (EAC) through the Lake Victoria Basin Commission (LVBC) Secretariat is coordinating the implementation of the 2nd Phase of the Lake Victoria Environmental Management Project (LVEMP II) which will be implemented in all the five EAC Partner States (Burundi, Kenya, Rwanda, Tanzania and Uganda) for a period of eight years.

The project will contribute towards the attainment of the Shared Vision for the Management and Development of the Lake Victoria Basin through strengthening of the regional and national institutions for governance of transboundary resources in the basin; and facilitating public and private environmentally friendly investments in the Lake Victoria Basin.

The EAC/LVBC has applied for funding from the IDA Credit of the World Bank, Global Environmental Facility (GEF) and the Government of Sweden through Sida. The LVBC Secretariat will be responsible for regional coordination of this project and it intends to use part of the funds to constitute a Regional Project Coordination Team (RPCT) that will be fully responsible for steering the project on daily basis.
