The table below illustrates the contribution of the various sectors to the identified transboundary issues.
The sectoral causes contributing to the transboundary issues are:
- Limited capital investment;
- Lack of incentives to introduce improved operational practices
- Lack of incentives to introduce improved resource- and energy-saving technologies;
- Ineffective environmental/economic regulation instruments for the sustainable management of nature uses and pollution control;
- Inadequate level of staff training;
- Inadequate implementation of environmental monitoring;
- Inadequate enforcement and control of compliance with environmental legislation/regulations.
