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 the eastern Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC).
Upon arrival in Accra, Kenyatta was received by Kenya’s High Commissioner to Ghana, Col (Rtd) Shem Ishmailidza Amadi.
The Tana Forum brings together high-level decision-makers and partners to exchange perspectives on peace and security challenges facing the continent, consult with African constituencies and global actors, and promote inclusive dialogue among governments and security stakeholders.
It also seeks to spur open debate on strategic peace and security issues, while mobilising wider support for African ownership of solutions.
