Namibia's former president has been in Ghana this weekend to recieve the world's biggest cash prize to an individual. Each year the Mo Ibrahim prize awards 5 million US dollars to an African leader who has governed well and then left power peacefully. The Mo Ibrahim Foundation was established in 2006 with a focus on the critical importance of leadership and governance in Africa. By providing tools to support progress in leadership and governance, the Foundation aims to promote meaningful change on the continent. Hifikepunye Pohamba served two terms as Namibia's president before stepping down earlier this year.
