GhanaCares Obaatanpa Program to Boost Export Capacity of the Country- Finance Minister

Ken Ofori Atta Minister of Finance

Presenting the 2023 budget statement, Minister of Finance, Ken Ofori Atta, has disclosed that government of Ghana will leverage the GhanaCares Obaatanpa project to bolster the productive and export capacity of the private sector.

According to the finance minister, the high food prices and pressures on the local currency validate the current focus of the GhanaCARES Programme to bolster the productive and export capacity of the private sector.

To this end, Mr Ken Ofori-Atta said the economic enclave project with focus on providing support for the cultivation of up to 110,000 acres of land in the Greater Accra, Ashanti, Central, Savannah and Oti Regions was being pursued.

The finance minister noted that this initiative would expand the production and productivity in rice, tomato, maize, vegetables and poultry and was being led and coordinated by the Millennium Development Authority (MiDA) in collaboration with other government institutions.

“Mr. Speaker, consistent with the private sector-led approach, the programme will engage interested private sector actors to expand and agricultural production and processing in the Asutuare-Tsopoli Economic Enclave area based on a Partnership Framework. The same approach will be adopted for the lands secured in the Ashanti, Central, Savannah and Oti regions.”

Mr Ken Ofori-Atta

Mr Ken Ofori-Atta disclosed that the government has also initiated discussions with the Graphic Communication Group Limited to explore the feasibility of producing paper locally using the by-products of the cultivated rice in the Economic Enclave at Asutuare as raw material. “It is envisaged that the imports of paper will be replaced, and more jobs created,” he said.

In addition to the Enclave Project, the finance minister noted that the GhanaCARES programme in 2023 would continue to offer catalytic support in some targeted areas.

Mr Ofori-Atta asserted that the programme would work with DBG to provide funding to interested and targeted farmers, support MoFA to adopt and deploy the farmer registration database for the farmer input subsidy programme to enhance efficiency; and support the Ministry of Communication and Digitalisation (MoCD) to establish a tech hub to improve knowledge in Technology and innovation by the youth, in collaboration with the University of Ghana.

The finance minister averred that the programme would also ensure the operationalisation of the Foundry under a sustainable private sector management framework; and provide interest rate subsidies and direct financing; including supporting prioritised sectors in the rural economy through the ARB Apex Bank and its network of banks as agreed under the AfDB-supported Post-COVID Skills and Productivity Enhancement Project.
