President John Dramani Mahama says Ghana’s internationally acclaimed Reset Agenda is restoring public trust in the country’s democratic system while strengthening accountability and governance.
In his New Year’s message to the nation on January 1, 2026, President Mahama said the Reset Agenda represents a fundamental shift in how Ghana approaches governance, both at home and on the global stage.
According to the President, the initiative is already delivering tangible domestic results, including a leaner and more efficient public administration, improved accountability in government, and a renewed, aggressive fight against corruption.
He said these reforms have led to a resurgence of faith among citizens in Ghana’s democratic institutions, helping to rebuild public confidence after years of decline.
President Mahama also highlighted the international impact of the Reset Agenda, noting that Ghana’s image within the global community has significantly improved as a result of the reforms.
He disclosed that at the 80th Session of the United Nations General Assembly, he used the global platform to present Ghana’s vision for a fairer and more inclusive international system through what he described as the Accra Reset Initiative.
The initiative, he explained, is a comprehensive framework aimed at transforming global governance by addressing deep-rooted inequalities in the current system and creating greater opportunities for Africa and other countries in the Global South.
President Mahama said Ghana is committed to working with like-minded global leaders to push for reforms that respond to today’s interconnected global challenges.
“This is our moment. This is Ghana’s moment to lead,” the President declared, reaffirming his administration’s determination to position the country as a voice for reform, fairness and democratic renewal on the world stage.
