2025 AWARDS HONORING EXCELLENCE

The African Persons of the Year (POTY) Awards is the continent’s most prestigious leadership recognition event — often described as the African Oscars of Leadership and Achievement.

Organised by African Leadership Magazine (ALM), Africa’s leading voice on leadership and impact, the event celebrates trailblazers whose vision, innovation, and integrity continue to shape Africa’s progress in governance, business, and society.

For over a decade, ALM has illuminated the stories of Africa’s finest — from boardrooms to State Houses — building bridges between African leadership and global recognition.

With over 30 million readers across 35+ countries, ALM has become a trusted convener of conversations that define Africa’s trajectory.

Hosting the 2026 edition in Accra, Ghana — a symbol of peace, democracy, and Pan-African pride — reaffirms the Magazine’s commitment to unity, purpose, and African-led transformation.
