The Story
Leadership through platforms, communities, and inclusion initiatives.
Africa 2.0 was founded in 2010 as a Pan-African civil society organisation built around a “coalition of the willing” model, mobilising emerging and established African leaders for shared solutions.
In 2012, a Mo Ibrahim Foundation speaker biography describes Mamadou Kwidjim Toure as working at the International Finance Corporation (IFC), World Bank Group, in Johannesburg, responsible for private sector investments in Telecommunications, Media and Technologies across Sub-Saharan Africa, and having previously worked at Fortis Group in Paris (Investment Banking).
AFIS speaker biography states that he founded Ubuntu Group in 2015. Ubuntu Tribe later positioned its work around making gold accessible via tokenisation, with each token representing ownership of 1 milligram of gold stored in insured and audited vaults.
