King Oyo said the kingdom will work with government and other partners to achieve the vision.

The vision will be under the theme of ‘a better life and prosperity for the people and kingdom of Tooro.’
On the skills development for youth, King Oyo said they will train and skill all the youth on different enterprises to start their own business.

“We shall support our youth, women and men to develop skills to start cottage industries where people work from their homes to benefit from the massive opportunities resulting from the elevation of Fort Portal as the tourism city of Uganda,” he said.

On agriculture, the kingdom will establish model farms that will provide hands-on training, demonstrate various agricultural techniques, promote research and provide education.  

Ms Sheila Ngatia, the UNDP representative, said they will support the kingdom in establishing a kingdom youth ICT and business centre as part of the achieving the vision.
