Mahama Hosts National Governance Forum on October 31
Former President John Dramani Mahama is set to host a Governance Forum today, October 31, at 6:00 p.m. on the Mahama Conversations platform. The forum, themed "Resetting Ghana for Growth and Development," aims to spark meaningful discussions on Ghana's governance and development ¹.
As the flagbearer of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), Mahama has been vocal about his vision for Ghana's future. Recently, he emphasized the importance of a 24-hour economy policy, which he believes will rejuvenate Ghana's economy and enhance citizens' well-being ². This policy, he noted, has resonated with many Ghanaians, particularly the youth.
Mahama's governance forum comes at a critical time, as Ghana faces significant socio-economic challenges. The country's unemployment rate has risen to 14.7%, with nearly 1.4 million young people aged 15-35 unemployed in the first three quarters of 2023 ². The former president has blamed the Akufo-Addo/Bawumia administration for mismanagement, corruption, and weakened governance institutions.
*Key Areas of Focus*
During the forum, Mahama is expected to address key areas, including:
- _Economic Growth_: Strategies for boosting productivity, reducing imports, and generating well-paying jobs.
- _Good Governance_: Measures to strengthen institutions, combat corruption, and promote transparency.
- _Social Development_: Initiatives to improve healthcare, education, and infrastructure.
Mahama has pledged to implement progressive and sustainable policies to address these challenges. His NDC manifesto, set to be launched soon, is expected to outline concrete plans for Ghana's development ².
*A Call to Action*
The governance forum is an opportunity for Ghanaians to engage with Mahama and contribute to the national conversation on Ghana's future. As Mahama emphasized, "We are ready, and I am prepared to lead us in building the Ghana we want together" ². Today's forum is a step towards realizing this vision.
