President John Dramani Mahama has called for stronger implementation, coordination, and sustainable financing of Africa's peace and security mechanisms at the 21st Extraordinary Session of the African Union Assembly of Heads of State and Government in Luanda, Angola. He emphasized the importance of African ownership of both the continent's peace and security agenda and its financing, stressing that early warning systems must translate into early action with timely, predictable, and sustainable resources.
Ghana has welcomed the UN Security Council Resolution 2719 of 2023, which provides a framework for financing AU-led peace support operations through UN assessed contributions, and called for continued efforts to operationalise the framework in line with African ownership, accountability, and shared responsibility.
