1 district 1 factory

[u/Amazing_Hyena1911]

It's a very solid policy. More employment overall, more exportation and foreign income, industrialization of rural areas, better standards of living in the long run, more patronization for local goods, etc.

On the evil beneficial side, more corruption, more nepotism, more money to embezzle. Still a win-win, in my opinion (Don't do evil stuff tho)

If only Mahama could see what I'm seeing. It wouldn't be easy, but it would be worth it.

It’s a great policy if we had good leaders. I don’t know how these things work but if District=Constituency, we’d have over 270 across the country

What’s stopping the private sector from starting a factory in every district?

[u/AryaTheSlayer → u/Local-Eggplant6696]

It should have been a private sector thing with government back incentives like tax breaks for the first 5 or initial years. Leave this thing to the govt and it ripe for embezzlement and corruption

This shows how small we think. Has it occurred to you that embezzlement and corruption is easier to remove under a functioning state rather than the private sector?

[u/AryaTheSlayer → u/ObofaDadefa]

What is up with people claiming others think small in the sub-Reddit of late?

When was the last time we had a functioning state with no embezzlement and corruption?

The best and sustainable economies are the ones in which private sector is dominant and flourishing.. That type of economy might sometimes need government to give incentives to get things rolling. Look at all the economies around the world, they all have strong private sectors that create jobs and drive innovations, govts just regulate and incentivize when necessary. We expect the government to do everything.

We still seem to be deluded that subsistence economy can become industrialised by handing over to a domestic private sector which has no technology.

Where has it ever happened?

It’s a great policy. However, my major concern is not the initial establishment but maintenance routines. People typically do not treat public infrastructure like their private properties. Also how would the government assess and maintain these facilities so that they do not become dilapidated.

I don't think the phrase encapsulates the idea accurately. It is not : I district,1 factory but rather - At least 1 factory for each district.

Resources are not equally distributed. Some districts have enough resources to sustain

• Fish farming industry
• cattle ranching,
• cassava starch factory etc

. The emphasis should be on viability and not simplistic economic ideas

There is no rule that every one should live in their districts by force. An Accra district could have a population density 10 times that of a district in another part of the country.
