Lake Victoria Basin Commission

Lake Victoria Basin Commission (LVBC), Kenya, The institution of East African Community mandated to coordinate different actors for sustainable development of people and resources within Lake Victoria Basin. Some of the Mandates are on water resources, environment and Natural resources. LVBC has acquired experiences on Nitrogen deposition through different projects implemented under LVBC coordination. These projects include LVEMP I and LVEMP II world Bank funded projects; USAID funded projects and National initiatives. Through these projects LVBC has data and other information related to nitrogen management in the Lake Victoria that can be shared. LVBC has experts that can be used to collect data, analyze and provide information. Ongoing LVBC projects will build synergy to the ‘Towards INMS’ project; and therefore provide more information on atmospheric deposition in the Lake Victoria which is thought to contribute 80% of the total N in Lake Victoria.
