Africa: $5 Million for the Best Head of State

Categories: Sub-Saharan Africa, Sudan, Governance

Sanaga Peregrinations writes (Fr): “A $5 million prize for the best African head of state [1]. The prize was created by Sudanese billionaire Mo Ibrahim … The winning head of state will have to leave power democratically, will have to have managed his country properly when it comes to security, health, education and economic development … Some [including Transparency International] criticize the measure for resting responsibility for the bad governance of a country on the shoulders of a single man.”
