INVESTMENT ACTIVITIES AND POTENTIALS

Investment Activities

The AAK District is quite endowed as far as development resources are concerned.  However, due to their undeveloped nature, the District is yet to realize the full benefits of these resources. This has greatly affected the ability of the Assembly to mobilize enough IGF to undertake various projects.  These notwithstanding, there are a number of investment activities being undertaken in the district with many others that are areas of opportunities that can be tapped into and developed.
