Africa Youth Awards

Africa Youth Awards is a leading organisation registered both in Ghana and UK that is involved in honouring the achievements of young people in Africa.

The awards was launched in 2014 and have since honoured over 250 young people through its 2 flagship initiatives, Africa Youth Awards and 100 Most Influential Young Africans which was later introduced in 2016. Nominations received annually are reviewed by a panel of Jury made up of past winners and young achievers resident from all over the continent.

The awards have also been endorsed by very reputable statemen across Africa including the President of Rwanda Paul Kagame and have been featured on over 300 media platforms across the globe.

The Africa Youth Awards initiative is Africa's premier and most prestigious awards initiative that awards the works of young people on the continent across diverse fields. Annually, over 20 categories are announced for nominations where finalists are announced for a public voting exercise. Winners are annually announced on 1st January, a ritual which has seen the award gain prominence among young people across the continent.

In 2016, the organisation launched its inaugural list of 100 Most Influential Young Africans. The list received a great recommendation from the public and paved way for more young Africans to share their success stories through the exposure of the program.

The 2017 list historically featured 45 women and 55 men from 28 countries.
