Yakama Nation RFP: CEDS

Submit Proposals to:
Yakama Nation Economic Development Program
Attention: Monique L. George, Economic Development Coordinator

CEDS Overview

The Yakama Nation has solicited the provisions of a Comprehensive Economic
Development Strategy (CEDS) to reframe the organizational infrastructure, build
capacity, and secure the tribe’s protective interest and the future of their tribal
economy. Through the CEDS document, the tribe will address the mechanics of their
strengths & weaknesses through a bottom-up strategy to avoid an economic downfall
post-COVID. By emphasizing a holistic approach to its vision of tribal enrichment, the
Yakama Nation will enable its tribal members to devise a protocol for sustainable
living. As a result, they will become the primary producers of what their community
utilizes, purchases, and considers for their land.

In turn, this solidifies self-sufficiency while improving their governance capacity. The
advancement of the Yakama Nation’s strategic implementation of a locally based,
regionally driven planning process will employ and optimize the contributions of
effective, driven, performance-based tribal economic development. The foundation
that the CEDS provides will reflect a traditional basis, culturally constructed lifestyle
that compliments principles concerning diversity, equity, and inclusion, a signifier of
the Yakama Nation. Since the CEDS is a working document designed to identify
priorities for the Yakama Nation, it will guide economic prosperity and provide
resiliency within the tribal community and regional partners.

Infrastructure Survey

There is currently pending consideration of national infrastructure legislation. We are launching a survey aimed at understanding the priorities and readiness of ATNI Member Tribes around infrastructure.  Information gathered will be used to proactively advocate for infrastructure needs in Indian Country and supporting Tribes with technical assistance, connection to resources, and hosting training or webinars.  The survey is 15 questions, and shouldn’t take more than 10 minutes of your time!
