The President of the Republic of Ghana and African Union (AU) Champion for African Financial Institutions, John Dramani Mahama has arrived in Nairobi, Kenya, to participate in the Africa Forward Summit, a high-level France-Africa partnership meeting.
The Summit organised by French President Emmanuel Macron has brought together African Heads of State, global business leaders, and international partners to foster collaboration on sustainable development and economic resilience.
President Mahama will join a high-level discussion on Green Industrialisation and Energy Transition tomorrow morning, Tuesday. The session aims to chart a path for Africa’s industrial growth while addressing the global climate crisis.
Reflecting his strategic role as the AU Champion for African Financial Institutions, President Mahama will later in the day participate in a working lunch centred on the Reform of the International Financial Architecture. The discussion will specifically focus on improving African countries’ access to sustainable financing and on ensuring that the global financial system is more equitable and responsive to the continent’s unique needs.
In addition to his economic engagements, President Mahama, who is leading the Accra Reset Initiative, will also co-chair a Round Table on Health, “Rethinking global health and building resilient national health systems”
On the sidelines of the Summit, President Mahama is scheduled to hold several high-profile bilateral meetings. These include talks with H.E. António Guterres, Secretary-General of the United Nations; Kristalina Georgieva, Managing Director of the International Monetary Fund (IMF); and Alvaro Lario, President of the International Fund for Agricultural Development (IFAD).
These meetings will focus on global cooperation, economic stability, and food security in Ghana and Africa.
President Mahama is expected to leave Nairobi in the evening of Tuesday and return to Accra.

Christians have been urged to demonstrate a living faith in Jesus Christ by allowing their confession of Him as Lord and Saviour to reflect in their daily lives.
According to the Kaneshie District Pastor of the Evangelical Presbyterian Church, Ghana (EPCG), Rev. Dzidzor Nathaniel Affram, a genuine Christian’s confession should go beyond words and be demonstrated through obedience to God, love for others and service to the Church.
He made the call at the 40th anniversary remembrance service for the late Wesley Kwasi Kwadzo at the Evangelical Presbyterian Church, Ghana, Maranatha Congregation at Awudome Avenui in the Volta Region.
Speaking on the theme, “The Church Built on a Living Confession,” Rev. Affram said life would continually present challenges capable of testing Christians’ faith, making it necessary for believers to hold firmly to their confession that Jesus Christ is Lord.
He explained that accepting Jesus Christ as Lord and Saviour required Christians to live according to His teachings, stressing that their faith must be evident in their conduct.
“A living confession listens to God and not man,” he said, urging Christians to remain obedient to God even when faced with difficulties and pressures.
Rev. Affram further encouraged the congregation to care for vulnerable people and demonstrate concern for others, adding that such acts were practical expressions of Christian faith.
He also urged Christians to identify and use their God-given gifts to build the Church.
He said every member of the Church had a role to play and cautioned Christians against looking down on others because of their status or abilities.
The remembrance service brought together family members, friends, members of the congregation and sympathisers to commemorate the 40th anniversary of the late Wesley Kwasi Kwadzo.
