President David Granger on Saturday called on Indigenous communities to craft effective Village Improvement Plans, which will guide development in their respective villages.
A Ministry of the Presidency statement said that he was at the time speaking at the Heritage Village celebrations at Pakuri Village, which is soon to become the official name of what has been known as St. Cuthbert’s Mission.
The President said that for villages to move forward they must be guided by a plan that is built on the pillars of education, employment for all, environmental protection and economic diversity. This, he said, “will help Pakurians to work systematically, year after year, to help make sure that they achieve their objectives and they provide that good life that we all desire”.
