The leader of the Accra Reset initiative — the ambitious African-led drive to localize development leadership — has announced new steps to strengthen the movement.
At the World Economic Forum on Thursday, Ghanaian President John Dramani Mahama announced the launch of a global secretariat, a high-level panel on global health reform, and a “Guardians’ Circle” of supporters — a group of former prime ministers and presidents described as the “moral stewards” of the movement.
Mahama also outlined plans to move billions of dollars of African money from investments abroad back onto the continent to help pay for the movement’s ambitions.
