High-Level Convening to Examine Financing the Sovereign Transition and Building Border-Free Prosperity
Africa.com will livestream Accra Reset: Addis Reckoning on Saturday, 14 February at 7:30 AM East Africa Time, convening policymakers, economists, development finance leaders, investors, and innovators to confront one of the most pressing question facing the continent:
How does Africa finance its sovereign transition while building integrated, border-free prosperity?
The event, broadcast globally via Africa.com’s digital platform, comes at a critical economic inflection point. As global capital flows tighten, sovereign debt burdens reshape fiscal choices, and geopolitical dynamics evolve, African governments and institutions are recalibrating how development, integration, and growth are financed.
Framed around three pillars: Financing the Sovereign Transition, Building Border-Free Prosperity, and Turning Vision into Praxis, the discussion will move beyond rhetoric to focus on execution.
Distinguished guests include H.E. John Dramani Mahama, President of Ghana, H.E. Faure Essozimna Gnassingbé, President of The Council of Ministers of Togo, H.E. Felix Tshisekedi, President of DR Congo, H.E. Mahmoud Ali Youssouf, Chairman of African Union, H.E. Amma Twum-Amoah, Commissioner of African Union (HHS), H.E. Francisca Tatchouop Belobe, Commissioner of African Union (ETTIM).
A Strategic Economic Reckoning
Addis Reckoning signals a shift in narrative:
- From dependency to discipline
- From fragmentation to integration
- From aspiration to implementation
The convening will examine practical pathways to strengthen fiscal space, expand domestic resource mobilization, deepen capital markets, accelerate AfCFTA implementation, and leverage digital public infrastructure and financial innovation as force multipliers for growth.
As part of Africa.com’s broader series of high-level convenings, the livestream aims to elevate serious, forward-looking dialogue centered on African agency and execution.
Global Audience, Continental Focus
The event is open to a global audience of policymakers, business leaders, academics, development partners, members of the African diaspora, and civil society stakeholders.
