South Africa to adopt Ghana’s 1D1F policy initiative
The South African high commissioner to Ghana, Grace Jeanet Mason, has said her country is ready to adopt Ghana’s One District One Factory (1D1F) programme to enhance industrialization at the district level.
Mason said the 1D1F programme provides a great opportunity for a thorough industrialisation drive.
She said South Africa will continue to collaborate with Ghana to improve bilateral trade under the AfCFTA.
Speaking in an interview on Monday, October 31, Mason said, “The 1 District 1 Factory policy, that is something that we would adopt to look at our district level, how we will continue to industrialise because that is the impetus of the AfCFTA”
The high commissioner said South Africa will continue to leverage Ghana’s comparative advantage in agriculture for the growth of the continent.
“We will continue to pursue relations with each other. There are opportunities in there and low hanging fruits like tourism that we must take advantage of to develop collectively.”
