NEWSWEEK: Cover: Giving Globally: How to Heal the World
Date:9/23/2007

-- Special Correspondent Emily Flynn Vencat profiles Sudanese businessman

and billionaire Mo Ibrahim, who will soon announce the first winner of

his foundation's Achievement in African Leadership Prize, a $5 million

award, spread out over 10 years-and $200,000 per year beyond that,

until death-given to African leaders (only democratically elected sub-

Saharan leaders can qualify) who rule responsibly with no clouds over

their tenure. Vencat writes that Ibrahim hopes the prize has the

potential to make political office a more appealing choice for Africa's

brightest young minds, who will see prestige and money as the rewards

for good politicians. "I believe that us business people who have made

money in Africa have a responsibility to help bring good governance

there," he tells Newsweek.
