ASEF Speaker Fred Swaniker, CEO of the Africa Leadership Academy, shares insight about his work and commitment. The ALA empowers Africa's next generation of change-agent leaders.

We can imagine a continent 15-20 years from now where the Mo Ibrahim Foundation's prize for African leadership will be inundated with worthy candidates.
