President John Dramani Mahama has emphasized that Africa must play a central role in shaping the emerging global order.
Speaking at the World Governments Summit 2026 in Dubai, President Mahama said the continent can no longer be treated as a marginal player in global decision-making.
“Africa deserves a seat at the table in the reshaping of a new global order. This is why the Accra Reset which convened in Accra, New York, Davos and soon Addis offers a road map for the transition from aid and dependence to trade, investment and global partnerships.
To achieve the right alliances, Africa must reset itself. Accountable and transparent governance, respect for human rights, strong institutions and selfless leadership are essential,” he declared.
He highlighted Africa’s abundant natural resources, youthful population, growing markets, and innovation potential as reasons the continent must have a voice in global discussions on trade, finance, climate action, and technology.
President Mahama also referenced the Accra Reset initiative, noting it provides a strategic roadmap to shift Africa’s engagement with the world from aid dependency toward equitable trade, investment, and partnerships that advance sustainable development.
