2025 Ibrahim Governance Weekend

The 2025 IGW took place from 1-3 June in Marrakech, Morocco.

This year’s conversations built on the findings of the 2024 Ibrahim Forum Report, Financing Africa: where is the money?, which underscored the widening gap between Africa’s growing development and climate finance needs and the current availability of external resources.

Forum Session 1

Delivering The Africa We Want: amplifying Africa’s priorities

This opening session will lay out Africa’s priorities – The Africa We Want – such as infrastructure development, regional integration, access to energy for all, digitalisation, adaptation to climate change, universal healthcare and jobs for youth.

Forum Session 2

Africa’s domestic resources and assets: maximising revenue from within

This session will explore the ways and means available to maximise Africa’s domestic resources. These include: drying up capital flight, strengthening tax systems, mobilising remittances, sovereign wealth and pension funds, upgrading local value chains and monetising carbon and biodiversity credits.

Forum Session 3

Smarter money: making global finance work for Africa

This session will address the current shortcomings of the multilateral financial system and its expected reboot. It will focus on pending issues such as debt restructuring, SDR reallocation mechanisms, innovative concessional and blended financial tools and risk guarantee mechanisms.

Forum Session 4

Africa’s investment pitch: attracting private capital

This session will aim to uncover the mismatch between high returns and limited private investment volume on the continent, outlining both the opportunities and hurdles to overcome – what works, what does not, and how to make Africa a more attractive and predictable investment destination.
