The gap between proclamation, implementation and therefore, the results of the researchers concluded that the Planting for Food and Jobs programme is largely one huge fertiliser subsidy programme which has not been interested in the more fundamental questions facing the agric sector.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe lack of coordination between the Planting for Food and Jobs programme and the One District One Factory meant that the transformative possibilities of the initiatives were not achieved,\u201d Dr. Graham added.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>#GhanaPolls2024<\/strong><\/em><br \/><em><strong>#ElectionBureau<\/strong><\/em><br \/><em><strong>#CitiVerify<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<hr\/>\n<p><em><strong>Explore the world of impactful news with CitiNewsroom on WhatsApp!<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Click on the link to join the Citi Newsroom channel for curated, meaningful stories tailored just for YOU: https:\/\/whatsapp.com\/channel\/0029VaCYzPRAYlUPudDDe53x<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p><em><strong>No spams, just the stories that truly matter! #StayInformed #CitiNewsroom #CNRDigital<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dr. Yao Graham, the Coordinator of the Third World Network-Africa (TWN-Africa), has expressed disappointment in the implementation of the government\u2019s Planting for Food and Jobs (PFJ) initiative and the One District One Factory (1D1F) project.
