Description

šŸ“° Mo Ibrahim is Anglo-Sudanese engineer, businessman and philanthropist. In 1998, he founded the mobile phone operator Celtel, a pioneer in providing borderless networks across 14 East African countries. At the time the company was sold seven years later, it counted 24 million subscribers --- thatā€™s comparable to half of Franceā€™s population. The 3,4 billion dollars deal made him a billionaire.

He has continuously been engaged in the fight against corruption. In 2006, he then set up the @MoIbrahimfoundation for leadership and good governance in #Africa, which made him a household name on the African political scene. This foundation publishes a yearly data-based governance index, which ranks the continentā€™s 54 states along criteria ranging from security and rule of law to human development. It also delivers the Ibrahim Prize for Achievement in African Leadership, which is awarded to a former head of state or government within the three years of their leaving office. But more often than not, it is not awarded for lack of suitable laureates.

He was in Paris in January 2024 to participate in the Youth and Leaders Summit, an annual event at Psia Sciences Po, which brings together the decision-makers of today and tomorrow.
