For decades, development partnerships have been defined by donor priorities. The “Accra Reset,” championed by Ghanaian President John Mahama, aims to flip that script — placing sovereignty and self-determination at the core of how the global south tackles its toughest challenges. Governments would invite collaboration with a range of players, from United Nations agencies to multilateral development banks, as they chart their future responses to climate, food systems, and, of course, health.
Mahama has positioned the private sector as among the “partnership of the willing” that will work in collaboration with governments and regional leaders to create new, innovative models.
Does the private sector want to be part of this partnership?
