6.3. Vertical Policy Integration of HRD at the Regional Level
This evaluation of vertical policy integration of HRD at the regional level was done in three policy instruments
(Table 6) of coastal zone development and particular emphasis was given on the coastal farming and natural resource management. The results show that all three instruments are included HRD as an important issue and consistent with the broad objective of HRD. Specifically, Coastal Zone Policy 2005 states succinct information on farmer’s capital development through creating awareness, encouraging participation in land management and addressing gender issues.
In addition, HRD receives a significant attention in the Coastal Zone Policy 2005.
Overall, resources and reporting system are inadequately discussed. The Coastal Development Strategy 2006 provides a good picture of financial resource management and National Programme of Action for the Protection of the Marine Environment 2007 reports poor information on monitoring and evaluation.
