Home National Zambezi unveils regional land use plan

KATIMA MULILO – The 2016/2026 Zambezi Integrated Regional Land Use Plan (IRLUP) was officially launched by the Minister of Land Reform Utoni Nujoma in Katima Mulilo yesterday.

The 10-year land use plan will be used by the regional leadership in the successful implementation of sustainable and efficient utilisation of land in the region, which has been besieged by land disputes in recent years.

Nujoma further encouraged the political leadership of the Zambezi Region to use the plan “for aggressive implementation and compliance monitoring”.

“I strongly remind you all to monitor compliance of this IRLUP by seeing to it that you inset activities in your performance appraisals, unto which your performance will be measured timely for the benefit of the region and its people,” stated Sampofu.
