Mugaa said this will be attained through initiatives such as investing in water harvesting.
The CS challenged the agency to work on key issues including water harvesting for arid and semi-arid counties.
Mugaa emphasised that the challenges offer an opportunity
for learning, and to leverage mutual collaboration and reservation noting that the
country has been depending on rain-fed agriculture.
Mugaa also stated that uncertain rainfall patterns have driven
to the agency into building key infrastructure projects including the ongoing Siyoi
Muruny' Dam, Soin-Koru Dam, Umaa Dam and the Thwake Dam.
The CS noted that the strategic plan shapes the priorities
of both the agency and the ministry, laying a foundation for meeting the goals
and objectives.
Mugaa emphasised that the ministry has developed strong
strategies to support institutions and their agencies in fulfilling their
responsibilities efficiently while ensuring that the policies follow a
structured framework for decision-making and operations.
“We have enshrined consistency and accountability with
clearly defined roles and responsibilities of agencies to avoid overlap of
mandate,” he said.
The CS said the plan had been developed through wide
consultative efforts of all stakeholders.
