Capacity Building Programmes
The Mo Ibrahim Foundation offers scholarships to African students studying at the Ahfad University in Khartoum, the American University in Cairo, the London Business School or the School of Oriental and African Studies.
In 2009 the Foundation launched the Ibrahim Leadership Fellowships programme with the African Development Bank, the United Nations Economic Commission for Africa, and the World Trade Organization. The Programme provides young Africans with mentoring opportunities in each of these organisations and aims to help create a new generation of African leaders. The three inaugural Ibrahim Fellows were announced in 2011.
