Mahama unveils ‘Accra Reset’ blueprint for fairer global economic order

President John Mahama unveiled the "Accra Reset" - a strategic blueprint - during the 65th Anniversary High-Level Meeting of the Non-Aligned Movement (NAM) in Belgrade, Serbia. The initiative seeks to establish a more equitable global economic system through resource sovereignty, local industrialization, fair trade practices, and strengthened South-South collaboration.

Addressing the gathering, President Mahama urged increased support for developing nations, highlighting the need for enhanced climate finance, adaptation funding, and investments in renewable energy. He emphasized that Ghana's upcoming 2027 African Union (AU) Chairmanship and its role as leader of the African Group of Negotiators on Climate Change would serve as a crucial platform to advocate for Africa's interests on the global stage.

Moreover, the President called upon NAM member states to bridge the digital divide and ensure that developing countries play a significant role in the creation and governance of emerging technologies. He stressed that the Global South must transition from merely consuming technology to actively participating in shaping the future of Artificial Intelligence (AI).

President Mahama reaffirmed Ghana's dedication to promoting economic fairness, bolstering cooperation among developing countries, and ensuring Africa holds a stronger position in decisions that shape the global economy.
