PUTTING GOVERNANCE AT THE CENTRE OF AFRICA'S DEVELOPMENT
The Mo Ibrahim Foundation is an African foundation, established in 2006 with one focus: the critical importance of governance and leadership for Africa. It is our conviction that governance and leadership lie at the heart of any tangible and shared improvement in the quality of life of African citizens.
The Foundation focusses on defining, assessing and enhancing governance and leadership in Africa through four key initiatives:
Ibrahim Prize
The Ibrahim Prize for Achievement in African Leadership celebrates excellence in African leadership. It is awarded to a former Executive Head of State or Government by an independent Prize Committee.
Ibrahim Governance Weekend
The Ibrahim Governance Weekend is the flagship event of the Mo Ibrahim Foundation, held every year in a different African country.
Ibrahim Forum
The Ibrahim Forum is an annual high-level discussion forum convened around one specific issue of critical importance to Africa that demands committed leadership and sound governance.
Forum downloads
A Forum Report is produced ahead of each discussion with a detailed, data-driven analysis of the topic. Download all past reports and related documents.
Now Generation Forum
Ahead of the Forum, the Foundation convenes young African emerging leaders for the Now Generation Forum (NGF) to discuss the main themes. NGF representatives then bring their perspectives to the Ibrahim Forum.
Ibrahim Fellowships
The Ibrahim Leadership Fellowships form a selective programme designed to mentor future African leaders. The Fellows receive mentoring from the current leaders of key multilateral institutions.
Scholarships
The Mo Ibrahim Foundation supports scholarships at four institutions each year. Find out about them here.
