1D1F scrapped

Ghana’s Trade, Agribusiness and Industry Minister, Elizabeth Ofosu-Adjare, has officially confirmed the termination of the One-District-One-Factory (1D1F) initiative, effectively ending one of the New Patriotic Party’s flagship industrial policies.

Addressing Parliament on Tuesday, July 8, 2025, Mrs. Ofosu-Adjare made it clear that the 1D1F policy is no longer in operation and no longer offers any investment incentives.

“Mr Speaker, I want to draw the House’s attention to the fact that as of now, there is no policy as 1D1F,” she told the House in response to a question from Minority Leader Alexander Afenyo-Markin.

Mr. Afenyo-Markin had sought clarification on the status of investment incentives under the current government, following the dissolution of the 1D1F programme, and asked what strategic steps were being taken to attract private sector investment, particularly in underdeveloped parts of the country.

“Is the ministry MOTAI exploring the establishment of new industrial parks as part of revised investment attraction strategy?” the Minority Leader asked.

In her response, Mrs. Ofosu-Adjare revealed that government’s new industrial focus is anchored on the 24-hour economy agenda—President John Mahama’s flagship policy—which aims to energise economic activity around the clock.

“The 24-hour economy policy is the new thing on the block and the game changer, which seeks to make Ghana very vibrant irrespective of the minute of the hour or the time of the day,” she said.

As part of the new strategy, she noted that the ministry is prioritising the creation of agro-processing parks—industrial enclaves focused on value addition in agriculture.

“We are doing agro-parks which seek to be a great game changer especially in the agro-processing zones and it is being worked on to ensure we are able to produce around the clock for import substitution, export, foreign exchange and to create jobs for our teeming youth,” the Minister added.

The now-defunct 1D1F programme was launched in 2017 under the Akufo-Addo administration, with the vision of establishing at least one factory in every district to transform Ghana’s economy through industrialisation. Its objective was to reduce reliance on raw material exports by building local value chains and boosting manufacturing.

With its discontinuation, the Mahama administration is now recalibrating Ghana’s industrial strategy toward building a 24-hour economy, focused on job creation, economic resilience, and positioning the country as a competitive production hub in the region.
