The KBF Africa Prize rewards African organisations which contribute to sustainably improving the lives of people in Africa.
The Prize is awarded every other year and seeks to draw public attention to the many inspirational stories, challenges and successes emerging from the African continent.
Beyond its monetary value of 250.000 €, it offers its winners unique opportunities to increase their visibility and promote their cause to international audiences.
That the Prize’s impact is much more than financial, is confirmed by two former Winners in a short video “Crossing continents: the KBF Africa Prize experience”.
The KBF Africa Prize rewards organisations which have been established in Africa, by Africans and which are managed and led by Africans.
The Prize pays particular attention to initiatives that tackle challenges in Africa in transformative ways, which are resilient and adaptable in a constantly changing context, which have a long-term vision, and which empower people to take their future into their own hands.
The selection criteria for the Prize are outlined in this document.
The KBF Africa Prize laureate is carefully selected by an independent Selection Committee consisting of 12 international experts.
