The Exemptions Act, 2022 (Act 1083), was presented to Parliament by the former Minister for Finance, Ken Ofori-Atta, in 2022.

The 1D1F initiative, envisioned by President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, aims to transform Ghana's economy from one reliant on importing and exporting raw materials to a more robust economy centered on manufacturing, value addition, and exporting processed goods.

This initiative is driven by the private sector, with the government providing a supportive environment for the businesses.
This support includes facilitating access to funding from financial institutions and offering assistance from various government agencies to help establish factories.
