The approach behind the Compendium is to involve nationals of the project countries in the assessment of environmental problems, review of existing environmental laws, and drafting of new and streamlined statutes consistent with the modern philosophy and enforcement of environmental law. The Compendium originally published in four volumes in 1996, with three volumes containing sectoral laws and implementing regulations. As participating countries revise and add to their laws in this field, further volumes of these sectoral laws and implementing regulations are being published. This volume contains contributions from Burundi, Cameroon, Ghana, Guinea-Bissau, Kenya, Lesotho, Malawi, Mauritania, Mozambique, Nigeria and Zimbabwe
