Davos: President John Dramani Mahama and Nigeria's former President Olusegun Obasanjo will host The Davos Convening, a high-level Accra Reset side event, at the 2026 World Economic Forum on Thursday, 22 January.
According to Ghana News Agency, a statement issued by Ghana's Presidency highlighted the extraordinary momentum since President Mahama launched this transformative agenda at the UN General Assembly last year. The Accra Reset is becoming a rallying point for African-led solutions to the continent's challenges and opportunities.
The statement noted that at The Davos Convening, President Mahama would be joined by other global leaders to expand the convening power of the Accra Reset, build strategic partnerships for implementation, and demonstrate Africa and the global south's leadership in shaping global solutions. The statement emphasized that the world is watching, Africa is rising, and the Accra Reset is charting the path forward.
The Accra Reset is a major international initiative led by Ghana's President Mahama, launched in late 2025 to transform global governance, particularly in health and development. It aims to move from aid dependency towards health sovereignty and economic self-reliance for nations in the Global Majority. The initiative proposes new frameworks for financing, business, and partnerships, emphasizing workable models, shared value, and sovereignty, starting with health as proof of concept and expanding across development sectors.
