24H+ will transformthe 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

Key Principles
● Theapproach 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
