Citi breakfast Show<\/strong>, a Deputy Trade and Industry Minister, Robert Ahomka-Lindsay, noted that it will be unrealistic for the government to give the public a specific date where all the two hundred and sixteen districts across the country will be implemented.<\/p>\n\u201cIn my private sector days, when I introduce a new product, that product doesn\u2019t just hit the market tomorrow, we have to plan, these are all part of what you do. In two years time, the companies would have had a go, whether they are still going to be alive, it’s a different question\u201d he said..<\/p>\n
He explained that about forty-eight percent of the factories will be agro-processing companies.<\/p>\n
He said these companies are committed to employing many Ghanaians, and the Ministry is going to monitor these factories in every district.<\/p>\n
\u201cSo we have monitoring teams at the district, where we are going to be able to monitor to see how they are going, and come and do another analysis because i’s a dynamic situation,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
The Ministry believes an effective implementation of the policy will open up opportunities within the nations rural and peri-urban areas.<\/p>\n
Background<\/strong><\/p>\nThe \u2018One District One Factory\u2019 programme is a public-private partnership for ensuring a nationwide spread of industries in all 216 districts in Ghana.<\/p>\n
The private sector will provide the investment, although the government could partner if such an investment of public funds is adjudged prudent and advantageous.<\/p>\n
Ghana Commercial Bank, Access Bank, Universal Merchant Bank and the Ghana Import and Export Bank, have so far signed up to the compact, although other banks have the opportunity to join.<\/p>\n
At least one hundred businesses have submitted projects for the government\u2019s one district one factory project<\/p>\n
