Land use is a functional aspect of an area with respect to humans activities on the land (it can be occupational and cultural). It basically means what humans use a particular land for. Normally, humans make use of land either to derive some benefits, perform some functions and/or maintain the environment. Land use type varies from area to area. On one hand, in rural areas, for instance, land is mainly used for farming, forestry, grazing and local earth dams.

CHALLENGES OF BUDGET IMPLEMENTATION AND WAY FORWARD
One of the major problems of budget implementation emanates from a poorly formulated budget. This is primarily related to lack of reliability, credibility and or realism of the source document of the budgetFurthermore, when the processes in the reforms, formulation and implementation are interdependent, this constitute a challenge to the actualization of the budget implementation as all the stages require the same reliable information. It is therefore expedient to have the spending agencies fully involve in the budget process.A meaningful budget must possess the following four characteristics: equilibrium, comprehensiveness, unity, and periodicity.
