Ghana aims to raise $4 billion from overseas lenders over the next four years. The cash will fund the country's new 24-Hour Economy plan that aims to create more jobs for everyone. Augustus Tanoh works as the president's special helper on this project and spoke to reporters on Monday. He said the government will kick off the program with $300 million in startup money. The official launch is scheduled for Wednesday, July 2nd, at a grand ceremony.
The program consists of three main parts that focus on manufacturing, logistics, and training workers. Government officials studied how other countries, such as Singapore and Malaysia, built their economies. They aim for Ghana to become the leading industrial nation in West Africa. Abdul-Nasser Alidu oversees the program's strategy and explained all the different components. Each part has a catchy name, such as Make 24, Show Ghana, and Go Ghana.
The plan includes building special business parks around the Volta Lake region. Boats will transport goods across the water to help companies move their products more efficiently. Government leaders will present the full program details to Parliament after the launch event. The current office handling the project will become a powerful new government agency. Officials believe Ghana can copy the success stories from Asia and Europe to transform its economy completely.
