That is the whole purpose of the policy. Instead of importing XYZ, you\u2019re going to have them made here.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ghanamma.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/DSC00378.jpg\" alt=\"\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>He added that, \u201cwhen we said we wanted to implement 1D1F and certain strategic industrial policies, we were told it couldn\u2019t be done, but today everyone is talking about how important it is for the Ghanaian economy to lessen it\u2019s dependence on foreign goods and foreign services.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cNow people are beginning to understand that indeed we had the foresight, we knew exactly what we needed to do to bring substantial progress, real progress not intermittent progress, but substantial progress which is going to be strong and resilient. That is what I\u2019ve noticed is ongoing,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>President Akufo-Addo indicated further that, \u201cby the time we are through, then the commitment of a 1D1F would have been established. And we can only strengthen the industrial development of the country, which is very important to note that foreign import dependence will not inure to our growth. We have the panacea, the solution, and Government is working to towards it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>President Akufo-Addo\u2019s 1D1F initiative is meant to change the nature of Ghana\u2019s economy from one which is dependent on import and export of raw material to one which is focused on manufacturing, value addition and export of processed goods from raw materials that are largely found in the districts across the country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ghanamma.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/DSC00379.jpg\" alt=\"\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Thus far, the One-District-One-Factory initiative, which has seen the ongoing construction of two hundred and ninety-six (296) factories across the country, of which one hundred and twenty-five (125) have been completed, is part of the foundation on which the Akufo-Addo Government is we are building a comprehensive industrialization programme, inspired by the development of strategic anchor industries, such as the emerging automotive industry and the co-ordinated exploitation for the entire domestic value addition of our bauxite and iron ore resources.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI am hopeful that, by the end of my term, the full complement of two hundred and ninety-six (296) factories will be in operation to help provide quality domestic alternatives to the consumption needs of Ghanaians, and reduce substantially our dependence on imports. We do not only account for the youth as labour in the 1D1F programme, but also as managers and owners. Indeed, fifty-eight (58) of these factories are wholly owned by young people who have received direct government support\u201d, he added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ghanamma.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/DSC00440.jpg\" alt=\"\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>SEND A STORY:<\/strong>\u00a0Do you have a story for us or need a promotion \/ advertisement?
