Integrity Idol: Using fame to fight corruption in Mali | IREX
As part of the Mandela Washington Fellowship, IREX placed Moussa in a hands-on learning opportunity with the Accountability Lab in Liberia. The lab focuses on training young journalists and cultivating a culture of accountability within the media space.
We want to help this younger generation of Malians come together and collectively push for the change they want to see.

After returning home from Liberia, Moussa held Mali’s first Integrity Idol, which celebrates and honors honest government officials across the country. According to Moussa, by holding this competition, “we create a national conversation about corruption, and show the importance of honesty, integrity, and personal responsibility in public affairs.” Integrity Idol echoes the Mo Ibrahim Prize for Achievement in African Leadership, which recognizes African executive leaders who champion democracy. The intention of the Mo Ibrahim Prize is not only to honor its winners, but also to generate conversation around leadership.
