  "summary": "A KPMG United Nations Development Programme survey indicates that approximately 32% of businesses in Ghana would consider investing or expanding under the 24-Hour Programme, with 44% willing to do so if suitable incentives or enabling conditions are provided. Factors encouraging participation include access to finance, reliable utilities, and tax incentives. However, 14% of respondents require more information, and 10% would not participate. The study highlights business optimism as constrained by finance availability, dependable utilities, market demand, and practical investment conditions. Respondents expressed conditional interest in the 24H+ programme, with a focus on jobs and youth employment, while a focus group study highlighted challenges such as documentation, customer access, and cash-flow issues. The survey underscores the need for government support in providing usable finance, investable projects, and implementation that generates sustained activity and employment.",
