The government will launch its 24-hour economy program on Wednesday, July 2, 2025, according to Presidential Advisor on the 24-hour economy, Augustus Goosie Obuodum Tanoh. The program aims to transform production, with agriculture as its main anchor, to develop the nation’s value chain and achieve greater productivity.
The initiative consists of three main components: production transformation, supply chain and market efficiency, and human development. These components will be supported by subgroups, including “Grow 24” for agriculture, “Make 24” for manufacturing, “Connect 24” for supply chain, and “Aspire 24” for mindset change and digital technology training. The “Aspire 24” component will also include a strong digital technology training module in the TVET curriculum to provide employment opportunities.
A notable aspect of the program is the “Show Ghana” component, designed to promote Ghana’s vibrant culture to the diaspora and attract more tourists, thereby boosting income through tourism. This initiative underscores the government’s commitment to diversifying the economy and exploring new avenues for growth.
The Rt. Hon. Speaker, Alban Sumana Kingsford Bagbin, emphasized the need for the 24-hour economy office to work towards getting Parliament to approve a Bill to ensure the policy’s continuity despite changes in government. This legislative backing will provide stability and consistency, allowing the programme to achieve its long-term objectives and create sustainable economic growth and development.
