At the Government Accountability Series in Accra, she said the government’s role will be to provide the enabling environment and targeted support needed for private investors to drive industrial expansion.
Ghana’s Minister for Trade, Agribusiness and Industry Elizabeth Ofosu-Adjare recently announced government plans to back the private sector in setting up three large garment factories to accelerate industrial growth and generate up to 27,000 jobs.
She said the government’s role will be to provide the enabling environment and targeted support needed for private investors to drive industrial expansion.
She said collaboration with the private sector remains a key pillar of the government’s economic growth strategy.
The garment sector can absorb a large number of workers with minimal training, and therefore, is an ideal sector for generating employment, she added.
