Gov’t publishes full list of 58 factories out of 230 under 1D1F programme

The Government of Ghana has officially released the list of 58 out of the about 230 factories completed across the country under the 1District 1Factory flagship programme.

This is to refute claims by critics that the government’s flagship programme is nonexistent.

President Akufo-Addo during his media encounter on Friday announced that 58 factories under the initiative have so far been completed, with 26 others at various stages of completion.

The list, the President indicated, will soon be published to buttress his claim.

Critics including the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) continue to question the existence of the factories under the initiative that is aimed at boosting agricultural productivity, provide more sustainable food supply and create jobs for the unemployed youth.

Grouped under manufacturing, agriculture, production and recycling, the list also highlights the sectors, locations, and sizes of the factories as well as the nature of employment they provide.

Being one of the government’s pillars in its taxation to production mantra, the 1D1F initiative was a promise by the New Patriotic Party (NPP) ahead of the 2016 elections.
