Agric Minister, Bryan Acheampong Minister of Food and Agriculture Bryan Acheampong has debunked claims that the One Village One Dam programme under the Akufo Addo government has failed. According to the minister, the dams were made with the intention of collecting and storing water for later use to which he describes as being useful. The government and the Ministry of Food and Agriculture have come under heavy criticism over what has been described as a failure of the government's flagship programmes, Planting for Food and Jobs and one village one dam. These criticisms come on the back of the government's directive to ban the export of grains from Ghana over fears of a possible food crisis resulting from droughts in some parts of the middle and northern belts of the country. Many Ghanaians have questioned the purpose of the over GHS 3 billion spent on the two programmes ((PFJ: GHS2.9billion from 2017 to 2023, 1V1D: 574 dams at a cost of GHS250,000 each).
