‘Accra Reset’ aims to strengthen sovereignty in developing countries – Joyce Bawah

The Special Aide and Advisor to the President, Joyce Bawah Mogtari, has said that the Accra Reset, an initiative spearheaded by President John Dramani Mahama, is a head-of-state-sponsored and strategic initiative designed to confront the structural challenges facing many countries of the Global Majority.

In a post shared on X on January 17, 2026, she explained that the initiative seeks to address the convergence of pressures that have increased in recent years.

“The Accra Reset is a Head-of-State-sponsored strategic initiative conceived to address a persistent structural condition confronting many countries of the Global Majority: the erosion of practical sovereignty despite formal political independence,” the post indicated.

Bawah Mogtari noted that the pressures include geopolitical contestation, a fragmented multilateral system, constrained fiscal space, disrupted aid and financing flows, and limited effectiveness of externally designed development interventions.

According to Bawah Mogtari, the Accra Reset is a structured system that aims at addressing the “triple dependency burden”, which consists of geopolitical vulnerability, donor dependency, and geostrategic marginalisation.
