The purpose of Africa Advancement Awards is to promote and encourage inno­vation, scale-up private sector participation in enhancing the economies of Africa as well as promote best practices in service delivery in both private and public sectors respectively.

The Awards recognize successful and effective service delivery initiatives in Africa that have been achieved through the application of innovative ap­proaches, methodologies, and tools.

The Awards program provides opportunities for information sharing, networking, partnerships and the possible replica­tion of successful innovations and initiatives in other parts of the African continent.

The Awards program is designed specifically to contribute towards the “growth of African economies” with capable and innovative private institutions being the driving force with support from government at all levels.
