Chairman of the newly constituted Resource Mobilisation and Partnership Committee, Samson Deen, has pledged to work with members to deliver measurable results in support of the Reset Ghana Sports Agenda.

Speaking at the official inauguration of the committee on July 14, 2026, Deen said the appointment was not ceremonial but a call to action and a responsibility to help transform Ghanaian sport.

“Our acceptance of this role is a call to action,” he said, stressing the need for the committee to justify the confidence placed in its members.

He explained that the committee’s mandate includes mobilising both financial and non-financial resources, establishing credible local and international partnerships, creating support avenues, and contributing to the rehabilitation and sustainable management of sports infrastructure.

Deen said the committee would adopt an inclusive and accountable approach in carrying out its responsibilities.

According to him, the committee will engage corporate Ghana, development institutions, diplomatic missions, international sports organisations, communities and the media to build partnerships that can provide meaningful support for the development of Ghanaian sport.

He added that every partnership pursued by the committee must have clear objectives, transparency and measurable deliverables.

Deen said the committee would focus on building sustainable partnerships rather than relying on short-term funding arrangements.

“Our mandate is not simply to raise money for sport. Our mandate is to build a credible system that connects talent, investment, partnerships and national opportunity,” he said.

He stressed that the success of the committee would ultimately be measured by the resources mobilised, partnerships established and opportunities created for athletes and other stakeholders across the country.
