“Reimagining Development: A Call to Cocreate Our Future” argues that Africa’s development trajectory must shift from externally driven models toward locally led, co-created approaches grounded in sovereignty, accountability, and inclusion.
Set against shrinking aid budgets, climate crises, and geopolitical change, the publication highlights how African leaders, civil society, youth, and financing innovators are reshaping global health and development through initiatives, such as the Accra Health Sovereignty Summit and the Accra Compact. It outlines five bold strategies—from centering civil society and youth leadership to rethinking communication, knowledge production, and feminist philanthropy—offering practical pathways for building resilient systems and redefining the role of global partners as collaborators rather than directors.
