This morning, I attended the Conference for Women in Leadership in the Public Sector, held under the theme “Breaking Barriers, Building Impact: Advancing Women’s Leadership in the Resetting Ghana Agenda.”
The public sector plays a vital role in driving development, and women must be deeply involved in decision-making and institutional leadership. Yet, barriers persist, ranging from limited representation in senior roles to biases and stereotypes that undermine women’s full participation. Breaking those is essential. Promoting women strengthens institutions, deepens long-term strategic vision, and reinforces integrity and competence across all sectors.
The government of His Excellency President John Dramani Mahama, a strong advocate for women, continues to show commitment to equity through deliberate policies, including the implementation of the Affirmative Action Act. Broader reforms under the Reset Agenda have helped stabilize the economy and restore confidence, and we have also focused on targeted interventions such as free sanitary pads for girls in school, the Ghana Medical Trust Fund, and a more inclusive NHIS.
I urged women to resist stereotypes, build strong professional networks, deepen their knowledge, and position themselves confidently for leadership. Leadership is ultimately about impact and helping others along the way. We must promote fairness and integrity in hiring and promotion, and create professional environments that allow women to thrive both personally and professionally.
Advancing women’s leadership is a national development imperative. We must write a new chapter defined by equity, competence, and lasting impact.

Happy Chocolate Day and Happy Valentine’s Day to all Ghanaians.
Today, as we celebrate love, kindness, and appreciation, let us also honour one of Ghana’s finest gifts to the world: our premium cocoa and chocolate.
There is no sweeter way to mark this day than by choosing proudly made-in-Ghana chocolate.
Share love. Share chocolate. Choose Ghana.

I received a special gift of the UN Charter in all six official languages from UN Secretary-General António Guterres in Addis Ababa today. It is a powerful symbol of our shared commitment to multilateralism, peace, and international cooperation. It also reflects a meaningful gesture and the UN's continued partnership with Africa and Ghana.
Our discussions centred on critical issues facing our continent, particularly the security challenges in Africa and the Sahel, as well as the imperative to consolidate democracy across Africa.
We also discussed regional peace initiatives, including the instability in the AES countries. I am grateful for the Secretary General's assurance of UN support as we prepare to assume the AU chairmanship in 2027.

#shattawale at 40
Him be good sporty
Off on a concert sortie
Live music be his forte
Shatta Bandle him be shortie
Other dancehall artist naughty
#shatta lyrics be more salty
Never be up in court, he
Shatta right, never faulty
Humble guy, never haughty
More fire @shattawalegh be 40
That be the biggest #Ghana story

I held a bilateral meeting in Addis Ababa with H.E. Mr. Selwin Hart, Special Advisor to the UN Secretary-General on Climate Action and Just Transition. I accepted Mr. Hart's condolences on the tragic helicopter crash in Ghana, and we went on to discuss the critical importance of 2025 in advancing global climate action.
Climate change recognizes no national borders. Since many of the causes of climate change are man-made, we must find sustainable and fair solutions together.
I stressed the injustice of climate impacts, noting that poorer countries, who contribute the least to the crisis, often bear the heaviest burdens. Rising sea levels, particularly affecting small islands and coastal communities, have led to pressing issues such as migration and food insecurity. I urged the United Nations to amplify our voices globally and advocated for a multidimensional and Pan-African approach, where countries share strategies, integrate adaptation measures, and scale up solutions collectively.
I highlighted Ghana’s ongoing initiatives, including the use of floating solar panels at the Bui Dam to diversify energy sources, and the work of institutions such as the University of Energy and Natural Resources in preparing citizens to sustain climate-related policies. I emphasized that climate solutions must go hand in hand with reforms to the international financial architecture, as unsustainable debt servicing continues to divert resources away from critical sectors such as education, healthcare, and climate adaptation strategies.
We need a holistic approach to climate, debt, and development challenges. Fairness, equity, and accountability must guide global action if we are to achieve just and lasting solutions.

I held a meeting with the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA) Ghana, led by Dr. Wilfred Ochan, who visited to reaffirm their support for my office and our country.
Our discussions centered on maternal health, family planning, gender-based violence, and youth-focused interventions. I commended the numerous interventions by the UNFPA in Ghana. I also stressed, however, the need for greater inclusivity, urging that men must not be sidelined in program design, since their involvement is essential in achieving sustainable impacts.
I then highlighted the following points:
• The importance of prevention in addressing challenges, so that we move beyond moral or reactive solutions to structured, long-term interventions rooted in proper planning.
• The need for accountability and responsible economic management to be the ultimate drivers of improved quality of life for Ghanaians.
• Avoiding repetitive cycles of unresolved issues by addressing root causes with evidence-based strategies.
• The critical role of data and research in shaping policies that genuinely improve our people's realities.
• The relevance of economics not just in theory but in its practical impact on communities and individuals.
I reassured the UNFPA of our government’s readiness to work with them to enhance ongoing interventions, with a focus on accountability, inclusivity, and sustainability.
