In May 2013 through Executive Order No. 2/2013 the Ministry of Environment Water and Natural Resources (MEWNR) was established and mandated to undertake protection, conservation and development of environment and natural resources for sustainable development. In 2013, the government, in line with the Constitution, rationalized the portfolio, responsibilities and functions of all the ministries and other government agencies. Consequently, the Ministries of Environment and Mineral Resources, Forestry and Wildlife, Water and Irrigation and Regional Development were merged to form the Ministry of Environment, Water and Natural Resources.
