The government has announced plans to revise the Public Procurement Authority (PPA) Act to require the procurement of made-in-Ghana goods and strengthen local manufacturing under its 24-hour economy policy.
Briefing Parliament on the flagship program at the 2025 Post-Budget Workshop, the Presidential Advisor on the 24-hour economy, Goosie Tanoh, stated that the initiative aims to support transformation in the manufacturing sector while promoting local consumption. "One of the components of the 24-hour economy is the Go Ghana, and that is a mobilisation programme where every Ghanaian who cares about the community, and country will give in their effort to be able to do something, whether it is environmental sanitation and also buying made in Ghana goods.
The only way to institutionalise it is to look at the PPA law and see how we can alter a guarantee offtake for a local manufacturer and local content.
So that we can grow our economies, learn from the Asian Tigers who made it a priority to buy their own goods and today they are where they are, and everybody compares us to them," he stated.
