Mo Ibrahim

📰 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 --- that’s comparable to half of France’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 continent’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.

Om Podcasten

What goes on in the heads of leaders faced with the world's major challenges? What keeps them up at night? How do they fall asleep when they have so much responsibility? How do they get to sleep when there is so much at stake? What gives them insomnia?   International leaders and decision makers are invited into the studios of the Sciences Po School of Journalism. We believe that students will be able to hear their voice and be inspired now and in the future. The interview is led by students from the Journalism and International Affairs programme at Sciences Po's School of Journalism and PSIA Sciences Po, with the coordination of professional journalists and teachers.  What keeps you up at night? is a podcast based on an original idea by Alice Antheaume.  Production: Louie Média.  Journalists: Marie Naudascher and Marine Séhan.  Music: Théo Boulenger.
