Mahama unveils “Accra Reset” for fairer Global Economic Order at NAM Summit in Belgrade
President John Dramani Mahama has unveiled the “Accra Reset” as a strategic blueprint for a fairer global economic order, anchored on resource sovereignty, local industrialisation, fair trade and stronger South-South cooperation.
Speaking at the 65th Anniversary High-Level Meeting of the Non-Aligned Movement (NAM) in Belgrade, Serbia, President Mahama called for a fundamental restructuring of the global economic system to better serve developing nations.
He stressed the need for greater climate finance, adaptation support and renewable energy investment for developing nations who bear the brunt of climate change despite contributing least to it.
President Mahama said Ghana’s 2027 Chairmanship of the African Union and its leadership of the African Group of Negotiators on Climate Change will provide a strong platform to advance Africa’s interests on the global stage, particularly on climate justice and economic equity.
He also urged NAM member states to bridge the digital divide, ensuring that the Global South becomes active participants in Artificial Intelligence development and governance, rather than mere consumers of technology.
The “Accra Reset,” he explained, is Ghana’s proposition for a more just, inclusive and sustainable world built on solidarity and mutual respect.
