the Gender Gap’ is the theme for the Summit’

A statement issued by Mr Mahama’s Special Aide Joyce Bawah Mogtari on Monday September 11, 2017 said, the Organisers believe Mr. Mahama has demonstrated his commitment to transforming the African continent.

The Organisers further described him as one of the leaders promoting ‘Agenda 2063’- the African Union’s vision of an integrated, prosperous and peaceful Africa- by addressing gender and economic inequality in the agricultural sector.
