Over the years, African Activists have been on the frontline of change and
have actively been involved in the fight for an Africa that is united,just,peaceful and dignified.
Africans Rising for unity,Justice,Peace and Dignity launched it’s annual awards initiative on Monday
16 October 2023.

Started in 2019, the Africans Rising Activism Awards serves the purpose of
amplifying and advancing the work of Africa activists and movements,highlighting activism as a critical means of positive change in African communities.

In its 5th edition, Africans Rising will present three awards: Activist of the year, Movement of the Year and Artistic Activist of the year.

For each category,two final nominees will be chosen to represent each of the African regions-North
Africa, East Africa,Central Africa, West Africa, Southern Africa,and the diaspora for a total of 36th
nominees.

This award initiative showcases activism as a worthy cause in African society and aims to
inspire similar actions among other civil society actors on the continent and in the diaspora.

“The Africans Rising Activism Awards are not meant to create competition among activists nor to show
who is a better activist.

They are our own small way of recognizing the work of our people who put their
lives on the line for the betterment of everyone.

All of them deserve recognition”,says Hardi Yakubu,
Africans Rising Movement Coordinator.
