The Mo Ibrahim Foundation’s flagship event in support of better governance in Africa is the awarding of the annual Ibrahim Prize for Achievement in African Leadership, worth $5 million. But this year there was no winner. According to the press release, ‘the Prize Committee has considered some credible candidates. However, after in-depth review, the Prize Committee could not select a winner.’ Mo Ibrahim himself pointed out that it was ‘the Prize Committee's decision not to award a prize this year and we entirely respect it.
