In the pursuit of sustainable economic development, Ghana finds itself at a critical juncture. We at Upsilon Pi Delta Institute (UPDI) a civil society organisation in Ghana are excited to propose the organisation of a series of policy dialogues to elevate the public discourse on critical social and economic policies, proposals and manifestos.
Our first policy dialogue engaged experts in academia, policy makers, and politicians on the concept of transitioning to a 24-hour economy. Drawing upon the vision of Former President John Dramani Mahama, we aimed to explore the feasibility of a 24-hour economy and its potential to revolutionise Ghana’s economic landscape. On the 28th of November 2024, the public dialogue event was held to curate insights, recommendations and feedback from an array of panelists.
The over-arching objective of the dialogue were four-fold: to foster a comprehensive understanding of the concept of the 24-hour economy; secondly, to garner public input and feedback on the proposed model. Further, to discuss potential challenges and devise strategies for mitigating them and finally to develop a collective vision for the implementation of a 24-hour economy.
The venue was the UNIMAC-GIJ auditorium at North Dzorwulu. We were joined by both in-house and online audience.
