Nominations have open for the prestigious African Women Awards (AfWA) 2022 which is scheduled to be held in Egypt in July 2022.

In a press release issued in Accra, Ghana’s capital city, on 22nd March, 2022, the organizers stated that the awards will be hosted with the Pan-African Women Conference, which is a key pillar in the efforts to support the development and growth of women across Africa with regard to entrepreneurial, managerial and professional capacities, performance and conduct and ultimately their contributions to the continent’s socio-economic progress.
The one-day conference is run on the theme: Celebrating Women’s Economic and Socio-cultural achievements in Africa amidst the pandemic.
To ensure the credibility of the awards, the organizers use public voting to determine the awardees. This ensures that awardees are women whose conduct and achievements are appreciated by a critical mass of Africans, both male and female.
To ensure that the awards scheme is transparent, the organizers engage in a stringent nomination process that ensures that only women deserving of contending for the awards are put on the voting ballot.
The awards conferment ceremony will be held in the evening following the conference. The awards event will confer awards on pre-selected women derived from pre-determined process as designed by the awards board committee and conducted independently of the organizers themselves – drawn from all across Africa for their exemplary conduct and achievements in various fields of economic, social, cultural, artistic and recreational activity.
The event is expected to be attended by awardees, participants at the preceding conference, leading entrepreneurs, corporate executives, professionals, public officials (both sovereign and multinational) diplomats, civil society leaders, traditional rulers and the international media.
