Mahama In Gondar For Tana Forum Megech Irrigation Launch

Gondar, Ethiopia – President John Dramani Mahama arrived on Friday in the historic city of Gondar for an official visit at the invitation of Ethiopian Prime Minister Dr Abiy Ahmed Ali. A statement issued by the Ghana Presidency said the visit comes ahead of the 12th Tana High-Level Forum on Security in Africa, scheduled to be held in Bahir Dar. Shortly after touching down at Gondar Airport, President Mahama joined Prime Minister Abiy to commission the Megech Irrigation Development Project.

The Megech project is a massive dam-and-reservoir infrastructure designed to transform agriculture and water supply in the region. According to the Presidency statement, the ambitious scheme, which began 18 years ago, stalled for years until Prime Minister Abiy revived it three years ago and saw it through to completion. The commissioning marks a major milestone in Ethiopia’s drive toward food security, climate resilience and large-scale irrigation.

The visit underscores the deepening cooperation between Ghana and Ethiopia, two nations bound by shared Pan-African ideals and a commitment to continental development. President Mahama’s presence at both the project launch and the Tana Forum signals Accra’s active engagement in African peace, security and infrastructure discourse, as well as support for Ethiopia’s development trajectory under Prime Minister Abiy.

The 12th Tana High-Level Forum on Security in Africa convenes heads of state, policymakers, security experts and development partners in Bahir Dar to deliberate on emerging threats and durable solutions for the continent. President Mahama is expected to contribute to discussions on regional stability, with Ghana continuing to champion dialogue, multilateralism and equitable security governance within the African Union framework.

The visit, officials said, reflects Ghana’s foreign policy of active diplomacy, economic partnership and solidarity with sister African nations pursuing transformative development.
