Actor and politician John Dumelo has questioned the impact of the 1 District, One Factory on Ghana’s economy.
The President of Ghana created the One District, One Factory (1D1F) initiative in 2017 to change the nature of Ghana’s economy from one that is dependent on the export of raw materials and the import of finished goods to one that is focused on manufacturing, value addition, and the export of processed goods.
The initiative which was much touted by the then-opposition New Patriotic Party was meant to be a collaboration between the government and the private sector to help provide jobs and also allow for the export of finished products in Ghana.
In a tweet on X, John Dumelo questioned how impactful the policy has been on the economy of Ghana.
“What has been the impact of 1d1f? How many of them, due to the export of their products have greatly reduced importation? Name just 1!” he questioned.
