The Ibrahim Governance Weekend is the flagship event of the Mo Ibrahim Foundation, held annually in a different African country. The three-day event will bring together prominent African political and business leaders, representatives from civil society, multilateral and regional institutions, and Africa's major international partners to debate issues of critical importance to Africa. Under the theme GlobalAfrica, the conference will focus on Africa's weight in the world, highlighting the continent's assets and potential without downplaying challenges to overcome. The delegates will also focus on the diversity of state actors and non-actors engaging with the continent, their primary areas of interest and various modes of engagement.
