68. Strategies

69. 1.localize quantification of potentials to locate the identified agri and forestry areas for development including other wealth creating sectors; maximize use of technology – GIS, dynamic databases 2.advocate for paradigm shift: productivity mindset 3.pursue innovative funding schemes and promote appropriate financing

70. 4. review sharing of national wealth: consider handicapping options or reward schemes for those who can generate more local income, in which case a transparent and honest-to-goodness municipal income accounting mechanism should be put in place [right now, domestic production is only estimated at the regional level, we do not have access to provincial and municipal domestic production figures]

71. 5. for sector-specific strategies: Agriculture: land consolidation provision of key support infrastructure & services – drip irrigation, seedling centers, certified seeds, mechanical dryers, organic fertilizer production sites,[go organic as a regional battle cry] silos, quedan centers [to ensure that farmers will not be forced to sell at low prices]and other common service facilities

72. 5. for sector-specific strategies: forestry: establishment of info system and trees tracking system, create a trees futures market, insurance fund for forestry mining: collection and establishment of a sovereign fund to take care of restoration & other needs of the host communities
