President John Dramani Mahama has joined several African leaders in Nairobi, Kenya, for the Africa Forward Summit, a high-level France-Africa partnership meeting focused on sustainable development, economic resilience and global cooperation.
According to a statement from the Presidency, the summit, organised by French President Emmanuel Macron, has brought together African Heads of State, international partners and global business leaders to strengthen collaboration on key development priorities across the continent.
The statement said President Mahama, in his role as African Union Champion for African Financial Institutions, is expected to participate in a high-level discussion on green industrialisation and energy transition on Tuesday.
The discussions will focus on how Africa can accelerate industrial growth while addressing climate change and the global shift toward clean energy.
President Mahama is also expected to join a working lunch on reforms to the international financial system.
The meeting will examine ways to improve access to sustainable financing for African countries and push for a global financial structure that better responds to the continent’s development challenges.
As part of the summit activities, the President will co-chair a roundtable discussion on health under the theme, “Rethinking global health and building resilient national health systems.”
The Presidency said the engagement forms part of the Accra Reset Initiative, which seeks to strengthen healthcare systems and improve preparedness for future global health emergencies.
On the sidelines of the summit, President John Dramani Mahama is scheduled to hold bilateral meetings with António Guterres, Kristalina Georgieva and Alvaro Lario.
The meetings are expected to focus on economic stability, food security and broader global cooperation involving Ghana and the African continent.
