Strengthening the African voice on global challenges

The Mo Ibrahim Foundation is an African organisation providing an African voice on current global challenges, grounded in sound leadership and governance.

The Foundation provides data and data-led analysis to assess these challenges at the continental level, bringing together stakeholders from Africa and beyond, including Africa’s youth, to discuss potential solutions.

Our initiatives and programmes inform discussions, convene stakeholders, and foster Africa’s young leaders.

We are world-class.
