Ministry of Wildlife Conservation and Tourism meeting with parliament standing committee with Land Use Planning committee hold meeting
Collaboration with Parliament
โAn immediate priority is strengthening the relationship between wildlife legislation and South Sudan's wider land governance framework.
โProtected areas, wildlife corridors, buffer zones, and other conservation areas depend on land and land legislation.
โThe MWCT Land Use Planning Committee respectfully requests the Standing Committee to:
โSupport Wildlife Land Policy Alignment: Advocate for appropriate integration of the Wildlife Conservation and Protected Areas Act within the forthcoming Land Policy and subsequent land legislation.
โEstablish Quarterly Coordination: Hold quarterly meetings with the MWCT Land Use Planning Committee to receive updates, discuss emerging land-use issues, and identify areas requiring parliamentary support.
โSupport Cross-Sector Coordination: Promote stronger coordination across government where mining, infrastructure, agriculture, land, and other development activities interact with protected areas, wildlife, and communities.
โThe Committee therefore considers it important that relevant provisions of the Wildlife Conservation and Protected Areas Act are appropriately reflected in the forthcoming Land Policy and subsequent policies and legislation that clearly recognize their status and management.
