President John Mahama addressed a high-level side event on the Accra Reset: Global Reset Dialogue at the 81st United Nations General Assembly in New York on September 21. He emphasized that the Accra Reset agenda cannot succeed without the support of the global community. To successfully implement industrialization efforts as part of the Reset, access to the African regional market for selling products is necessary.
Mahama highlighted that Ghana's domestic agenda, focusing on economic self-reliance, local value addition, public health infrastructure, transparent governance, and the 24-Hour Economy initiative, aligns with the goals of the Accra Reset. He expressed gratitude to Presidents Olusegun Obasanjo, Ellen Johnson Sirleaf, and Laura Chinchilla for welcoming Ghana on behalf of the Guardians Circle.
Mahama outlined the three burdens weighing down the Global South: geostrategic marginalization, geopolitical vulnerability, and donor dependence. He stressed that these burdens are interconnected threads of a broken global system and that breaking them requires connecting political authority, productive capability, and financial resilience.
