Miners to form cooperatives to avoid exploitation by middle men

The quarries are owned by individual farmers making it difficult to control

Train and assist the miners with blasting materials.

Surface and Grrund water

Water, Health, Agriculture,

Surface water highly exploited but ground water requires more exploitation for optimal utilization

Can support more food production through irrigation

Inadequate funds

Protection of catchment areas, river banks and water conservation measures like metering, water harvesting and modern irrigation technology. Equip Boreholes with solar power.

Underutilized

Traditional medicine, Eco-tourist attraction, Bee keeping

-Lack of research/disseminated information

-Commlnal land ownership

-No regulation on utilization of flora and fauna.

Establishment of botanical gardens

-Need for research on existing herbal plants

-Need to develop regulatory framework on utilization of flora

Land

All sectors

High potential areas well utilized due to secure land tenure, but in low potential areas is underutilized.
