African Diaspora At Work Awards

October 23, 2011 By
Email

The contribution of the African Diaspora to the development of the African continent is well documented but rarely celebrated. We at Africa on the blog have decided to change that by creating these virtual awards to recognise the work of men and women doing great work to change the life of those that they left behind.

We are therefore asking that you please take a few minutes to nominate someone whose work you  believe has the greatest impact on African communities. Nominations close on  23  November 2011 and the winner will be announced on 30 November. The winner will take away a range of goodies offered by our readers. We will feature some of the most inspiring work here

Create your free online surveys with SurveyMonkey, the world’s leading questionnaire tool.

    This is a great idea. I am trying to keep my nomination short and sweet… but failing. Is there a word limit/minimum?

    I also nominate TMS Ruge for his inspiring personality and his great leadership of many Africa and diaspora-focused initiatives including Project Diaspora, Women of Kireka, UMPG Ltd, Digicon Podcast, Connect4Climate etc and for inspiring and challenging many other diasporans like me to play an active role in development efforts on the continent.
