Abstract: The study reviews sectoral environmental planning in Kenya and suggests how a comprehensive plan can be developed. The authors state that although Kenya has one of the most sophisticated soil conservation programs in Africa, sedimentation is still a major threat to its dams and lakes. They suggest that in preparing the National Conservation Plans, a clear statement on the financing of ‘Environment Impact Assessment (EIA)’ of development projects, and ‘Clean Technology and Conservation of Resources’ should be well spelt out. Thus, national development should be economically, socially, culturally, and ecologically sustainable.
