| Implementation Status | The objectives of EP2 are to: a) reduce environmental degradation trends at the national level; b) increase the sustainable use of natural resources in target areas; and c) establish conditions for mainstreaming sustainable environmental and natural resources management at the national level, the ICR rates the outcome as Marginally Satisfactory. This is because, all these objectives were achieved to a certain extent in localized areas, albeit at a lower level than hoped for, and not consistently across the board. |
