Expert Urges Strict Oversight for Ghana’s 24-Hour Economy Initiative
A leading international trade expert has demanded rigorous monitoring of Ghana’s ambitious 24-Hour Economy programme to guarantee successful implementation. Professor Evans Akwasi Gyasi from Anglia Ruskin University’s School of Economics, Finance and Law issued this call amid growing attention to the economic initiative.
The Associate Professor emphasized that robust and continuous oversight remains crucial for the 24-Hour Economy and Accelerated Export Development Programme (24H+). This comprehensive monitoring approach would ensure the programme achieves its intended economic objectives effectively.
Ghana’s 24-Hour Economy initiative represents a significant policy shift designed to boost economic activity around the clock. The programme aims to maximize productivity by extending business operations beyond traditional working hours across various sectors.
Professor Gyasi’s expertise in international trade provides valuable insight into the programme’s potential challenges and opportunities. His academic position at the UK-based university adds international credibility to his assessment of Ghana’s economic strategy.
The Accelerated Export Development component of the programme specifically targets enhanced export capabilities. This dual approach combines extended operational hours with focused export growth strategies to strengthen Ghana’s economic position.
Effective implementation monitoring would track key performance indicators, identify potential obstacles, and ensure programme objectives align with actual outcomes. Such oversight mechanisms prove essential for large-scale economic initiatives requiring sustained coordination across multiple sectors and stakeholders.
The programme’s success depends heavily on systematic evaluation and adaptive management approaches.
