💡 In this discussion with SOAS Development Leadership Dialogue, Mo reflected on the foundations of economic development in Africa. His remarks underline that progress depends on governance, particularly strengthening domestic resource mobilisation, improving coordination, and addressing fragility and insecurity. 🎥 Watch the full discussion below.
✨SOAS Development Leadership Dialogue Co-Directors Christopher Cramer and Jonathan Di john recently held a dialogue with Sir Mo Ibrahim, Founder and Chair of Mo Ibrahim Foundation on economic development in Africa. 💡Sir Mo argued that Africa’s development challenges are primarily political and institutional rather than technical, and that many obstacles stem from internal governance failures, fragmentation, and conflict, alongside external factors such as declining aid and global economic uncertainty. 💡He highlighted various strategic priorities for African governments and regional institutions aiming to create conditions for sustainable development, covering peace and security, economic integration, collective market power, value chain development, structural reform, domestic resource mobilisation, and good governance. 📽️ See the full discussion here: https://shorturl.at/Dc82k #soas #africa #economics #development #policy
