Former President Uhuru Kenyatta on Tuesday participated in the TANA Forum Board Meeting in Accra, joining African leaders and policymakers in discussions on peace, governance and security challenges facing the continent.
Kenyatta attended the high-level session alongside distinguished board members committed to advancing African-led solutions to regional conflicts and governance issues.
The meeting was chaired by Ghanaian President John Dramani Mahama and was also attended by Catherine Samba-Panza, Ethiopia’s State Minister of Foreign Affairs Hadera Abera, former Ethiopian State Minister and former Permanent Representative to the UN Security Council Tekeda Alemu, PLO Lumumba and Michelle Ndiaye.
“The TANA Forum remains a key continental platform for shaping policy discussions on conflict prevention, democratic governance, and regional stability,” a statement from Kenyatta’s office stated.
The former president arrived in Accra on Monday evening ahead of the high-level forum on security in Africa, where he was received by Kenya’s High Commissioner to Ghana, Col (Rtd) Shem Ishmailidza Amadi.
Kenyatta joined the Tana Forum board in 2024, placing him among former African presidents involved in the institution’s strategic oversight.
His appointment came as he expanded his role in regional peace processes, including assignments as an African Union peace envoy and mediator, with engagements in the Horn of Africa and eastern Democratic Republic of the Congo.
The Tana Forum brings together high-level decision-makers and partners to exchange perspectives on peace and security challenges facing the continent, while promoting African-led solutions to regional conflicts.
