This site contains over 160 videos and audio recordings of inspired thinkers, academics, policy makers and experts discussing the issue of governance in Africa, and its relationship to economic development. Many of these resources were gathered from the residential schools which take place in a different African country each year, organised by the Centre of African Studies, University of London in the United Kingdom, and funded by the Mo Ibrahim Foundation. You can also find Powerpoint slides from presentations delivered by the residential school speakers, and interviews with the school participants. Explore the Youth Engagement page to see how young people in Accra, Ghana have used these resources to spark a debate about governance in their own communities.
