INTRODUCTION/POWERS:-
The Ministry of Environment was created in order to coordinate the activities of the State Government with respect to the environment and environment related issues. Restructured in 2007, the Ministry has two agencies, namely Jigawa State Environmental Protection Agency (JISEPA) and Alternative Energy Fund.
Ministry of Environment has overall responsibility for the management of the environment in the state; there are a number of cross cutting issues and problems that do not directly fall within the responsibility of the Ministry. The cross cutting nature of environmental policy is also seen from the fact that of the three environment related MDG targets, one concerns water, which is to halve, by 2015, the proportion of people without sustainable access to safe drinking water, while another relates to housing provision that by 2015, ‘to have achieved a significant improvement in the lives of at least 100 million slum dwellers’. These types of issues and problems require interagency cooperation, coordination and collaboration. Such inter-agency cooperation, coordination and collaboration can be achieved and enhanced more easily through the articulation of an environmental policy that takes on board these cross cutting issues within a framework that allows for institutional coordination and joint responsibilities.
