You are told that the new government is interested in moving away from agriculture and into manufacturing. To do so, the government wants to pursuit a policy of import substitution industrialization (ISI). You are given a brief about Ghana highlighting the following points: About half of Ghana’s population depends on agriculture, but Ghana still imports some of its food. The majority of Ghana's people live in rural areas and exist on a subsistence way of life. Ghana has one of the highest rates of income inequality in the world. Nearly half of the population is employed in agriculture. Explain import substitution industrialisation and how it can affect Ghana.

The only source of income, apart from agriculture, is the trickle of tourists who relax there. You, the governor, received a proposal from a power generation company to put up a coal power plant in your area. The construction alone will create 1,200 much-needed jobs, while the operations will require around 500 people.
