President John Dramani Mahama has announced the formation of a Presidential Council to anchor the Accra Reset initiative, launched on the sidelines of the 80th UN General Assembly in New York.
The Council, made up of sitting and former heads of state from Africa, Asia, Latin America, and beyond, will provide political leadership for rethinking global governance.
Supporting it will be a high-level panel of experts in health, finance, innovation, and business to ensure evidence-based action.
President Mahama said the Reset is designed to confront urgent global challenges—broken development models, climate finance gaps, debt crises, and weak institutions—while shaping a new post-2030 development agenda.
He said, “To keep this reset shaped, we must launched new global coalition, a partnership of the willing, the beginning of a durable club, a presidential council comprising of Heads of State and government from Africa, Asia, Latin America and beyond which will provide political leadership to this movement.
A high level panel drawing from health, finance, innovation and business, will provide intellectual depth and evidence to this exercise, Together this Coalition will apply the operating logic of reset to help the world rethink global development itself.”
“This is not a talking shop,” he stressed. “The Presidential Council will be accountable, the Expert Panel measurable, and together they will ensure commitments translate into results.”
The Accra Reset initiative, themed “Reimagining Global Governance for Health and Development”, places Africa at the centre of a new push for sovereignty-driven solutions and inclusive prosperity.
