Resetting Global Development: One Year On

On 21 September 2026 in New York, the Accra Reset marks one year of progress and renews the work of practical sovereignty, execution capacity, and shared prosperity.

On 5 August 2025, President Mahama convened a summit in Accra on health sovereignty. The discussion made one thing clear: health sovereignty cannot be achieved through the health sector alone.

Context

A wider sovereignty agenda

Debt service, trade rules, data governance, IP, and workforce mobility all shape whether countries can deliver health, prosperity, and resilience on their own terms.

One Year On

From proposal to practice

The Reset now has an implementation record across health architecture, North-South dialogue, sovereign negotiation capacity, and mobility infrastructure.

A sovereignty agenda confined to any one sector would ultimately undermine itself.
