Let's face it...being such a small blip on the motorsports landscape in this country is not the type of arena that will lend itself to monster benefactors jumping in without a pretty large dose of eccentricity...there is no reciprocal benefit.
Hindsight being pretty darn good, even if not 20/20, I can say what I would recommend for your best chances at becoming a stellar rally driver. Of course, if you are reading this, you are already too old for the first steps in this path...pity.
This example assumes you have GOBS of talent, right from the start, and daddy has to have a fair amount of support and $, too.
Start on MX bikes at 4 y.o. You are most flexible then and have no fear and the best riders usually start at this age.
Once you are a top of the class 80cc rider, start getting experience on karts. Stay on the dirt bikes and work up to shifter karts.
Keep yourself fit, base your education towards a mixture of business and engineering...heavy on the business/marketing.
Learn about sponsors through your kart/motorcycle career. If you can make it to the nationals in MX, you will start dealing with agents, marketing firms, etc. Work on global companies for sponsorship.
Move to Europe at 16 y.o. Hopefully you will have some good corporate backing from your motorcycle career and you can talk them into helping you with the transition. Find a new agent in your new country with experience in rally. Run the national or "World" MX series in a rally-friendly country and get into a 206cup type deal for a few rallies.
Schmooze the business side to get your global sponsor to help with the rally stuff and making the transition.
Get in on one of the factory "scout" programs where they are looking and show your stuff.
Since there is no dedicated "ladder" to the top, you have to figure it out on your own. There are lots of ways to *potentially* get there with the BIG assumption that you have enough seed money, enough family support, enough talent, a good plan (I'm sure there are better ones than this), and an immense amount of dedication/focus. This is just one and how I would have done it if I had my druthers, a fat bank, and a respectable amount of talent on 2 wheels.
Unfortunately, I fell short on all those counts.
