The German Africa Prize (Template:Lang-de) has been awarded annually since 1993 by the German Africa Foundation to promote peace, democracy, the social market economy and human rights. In addition to the actual funding awarded, the German Africa Prize is intended to contribute to the understanding in Germany of Africa and the development of Africa.
Prize categories
The main prize honors outstanding persons from Africa, who have made their mark on peace, democracy, human rights and sustainable development. In addition, the German Africa Prize is:
- an honorary award for Germans who have earned respect in Africa
- an award for special Africa-related journalism
- a sponsorship award for African and non-African scientists, whose theses and dissertations are particularly suited to promote the development of science, culture, democracy or social market economy in Africa.[1]
Nominations and jury composition
The award is announced by means of an annual invitation for nominations, with the participation of German representatives abroad as well as the foreign representatives of the sponsors. The award winners are decided by an independent jury which, in addition to members of the German Africa Foundation, consists of representatives of the Federal Foreign Office, the Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development, the Association of German Chambers of Industry and Commerce, the German Council on Foreign Relations and the German Institute for International and Security Affairs. In additional jury members may be nominated by the Kreditanstalt für Wiederaufbau, the German-African Business Association and other German political foundations.[2]
