Historiquement, les Africains n'ont pas été bien représentés dans les institutions internationales. C'est un problème. Car ces organisations sont essentielles pour lutter contre des problèmes tels que le changement climatique ou encore la Covid 19. Mais avec un Nigériane a la tête de l'organisation mondiale du commerce et un ethiopien a la tête de l'organisation mondiale de la santé, cela pourrait changer. Mais est-ce que ça va assez vite? Comment les africains peuvent-ils s'assurer que leurs voix sont entendues sur la scène mondiale? Pedro Matos a travaillé pour les Nations Unis et le Programme Alimentaire Mondial pendant plus d'une décennie. Il faisait partie de l'équipe qui a remporté le prix Nobel de la paix en 2020. Mutemi Wa Kiama est un militant de Nairobi au Kenya. Il est connu pour avoir fait campagne contre l'aide sous forme de prêts internationaux. Oby Ezekwesili est ancienne ministre de l'éducation du gouvernement Nigérian.

Democracies across the globe are in crisis. To rebuild trust and strengthen good governance, our guest Oby Ezekwesili advocates for the citizens to be put on centerstage of the political system. To fix politics, as she calls it, we must “elevate the office of the citizen to its rightful place in our nation and develop a political class of servant leaders.” But what does it take to empower citizens to understand their power and act on it? Where does international cultural policy come into play in this process? And how could a new multilateral system, based on these values and ideas, look like? Our guest Oby Ezekwesili is an economic policy expert, former vice-president of the World Bank for the African Region and has served twice as Federal Minister in Nigeria.

The Covid-19 crisis has been the big story of 2020 but how has Africa handled the pandemic, and amid the serious set backs have there also been some digital and technical gains? What opportunities will the African Continental Free Trade Area bring after it comes into effect in January 2021? How can Africa take charge of its own climate change policies? And is the continent ready for the fourth Industrial Revolution? These are some of the questions that the guest panel of Dr Oby Ezekwesili, Rebecca Enonchong, Professor Ken Opalo and Professor Landry Signé address with presenter Dickens Olewe as they look back at the issues and trends in Africa over the past year, and discuss what 2021 might bring. This episode was first broadcast on the BBC Africa Today podcast

Corruption, despite it being one of the frequently occurring topics discussed across the continent, is not unique to Africa. Also, it did not originate in Africa. However, its effects, especially when it comes to the misuse of public funds, is more pronounced on the continent given how it robs citizens from having functional infrastructure and public services. Given corruption's negative effects on public service delivery, is it something we can completely stop? In this episode of The Tefo Mohapi Show, I have an in-depth discussion with Oby Ezekwesili on to help us understand the origins of corruption in Africa, the incentives that exist to help it spread, and some ways we can curb it. Mama Ezekwesili also shares some thoughts on how we can fix politics.

"Leadership is not about titles or positions, leadership is about solving problems." Oby Ezekwesili is a force. She was recognized by Time Magazine as one of the 100 Most Influential People in the world and by New York Times as one of the 25 Women of Impact for 2015. She was Vice President of the World Bank (Africa Region) with responsibilities for operations in 48 countries and a lending portfolio of about $40 billion. And also worked for as the Nigerian Minister of Education and later as Minister of Solid Minerals. She exudes passion and strength. We recorded this episode as a live event at the Ventures Platform in Abuja with few people in the audience. Recording this podcast was an insight into her phenomenal mind. In this episode we discuss: Not everyone is called to politics, but every citizens is called to governance. Good entrepreneurship is a form of participating in governance. Courage is an expression of inner conviction. Technology has given Africa an unprecedented access to the ‘4th industrial revolution'. The winners are not yet determined because everyone is almost starting at the same time. Leadership is not a title or position. It's about solving problems. Knowledge is at it's cheapest and available to everybody. Africa can claim the 21st century. Towards the end of the interview, I asked her what she would have been doing if she was 20 younger. “I probably build 20 startups” She said.
