Local plan
Yala
YALA, YOUR FUTURE MUST BE BUILT HERE.
Better roads. Stronger agriculture. More opportunities for our youth.
THE ODEY-ARCHIBONG PLAN FOR YALA
FROM AGRICULTURAL STRENGTH TO A DIVERSIFIED LOCAL ECONOMY.
Agricultural Development
Strengthen farming, aggregation, storage, processing and market access.
Mineral Value Chains
Yala's salt, barite, limestone, granite, clay and other resources present opportunities for responsible industrial development.
Youth Opportunity
Agriculture, mineral related enterprise, logistics and small business can provide alternative pathways for young people.
Better Roads
Connectivity is essential if Yala's agricultural and mineral potential is to reach markets.
Local Processing
The objective should be to retain more economic value within Yala rather than exporting raw resources without significant local value addition.
OUR PROMISE
Yala's young people should not have to leave home simply because opportunity has not yet arrived there. The future should be something they can build on their own soil.
