What is 24 Hour Economy?
“The 24-Hour Economy is more than just a policy; it’s a catalyst for
industrialisation, export promotion, and job creation. It’s about building
an economy that works for everyone, every hour of the day,”
- President John Dramani Mahama

24H+ will transform the Ghanaian economy
1. Significantly increase input self-reliance and reduce Ghana’s vulnerability to external
shocks
2. Facilitate the comprehensive integration of value chains to produce more of our needs
3. Optimise the utilisation of production resources, including human labour power, natural
resources, and capital to achieve high productivity, shared prosperity and more
balanced lives;
4. increase in volume and types of production and thus increase in meaningful
employment (at least 1.7m quality jobs in 4 years)
5. develop stable production surpluses based on marketing that scientifically assesses
and penetrates concrete local, regional, and international markets.
6. equip the Ghanaian productive sector with better attitudes to production and
production relations, and socio-cultural values /solidarity.

The Theory of Change

The Theory of Change
Key Principles
● The approach to solving problems is an
integrated value chain approach
● The 24H+ secretariat will play a
coordinating and advisory role in the
implementation
● The programmes will be private sector
driven
● As much as possible, programme funding
will be structured so that they are not on
the government’s balance sheet

WHY 24H+?
02.
10
Why the 24H+ Programme
11
Trade – and trade in
imported goods - dominate our economy
1. Trade and repairs have
overtaken Agric as the biggest
contributor to growth
2. Manufacturing has moved from
number 3 to number 4
12
We export mostly Gold,
Oil and Cocoa, and import most of what we use
1. Almost 50% of total inputs are
imported;
2. Manufacturers in Ghana earn
almost 90% of total sales
from the domestic market;
3. Our 2nd largest food import
comes from animal stomachs;
4. 3rd Largest food import
includes Offal of Fowl.
13
Even when the economy grows, we are not
creating jobs or opportunities for our people
While GDP grows each year Employment rate is on a downward trend
