Associations Advance Africa Awards

There are three award levels for the Associations Advance Africa Awards. An entry may receive an Associations Advance Gold or Associations Advance Silver or Associations Advance Bronze award within its category. The Gold award is the highest recognition given within a category while the silver is the next highest. There is no limit on the number of Gold or Silver awards that can be given. However, applications for the same program under multiple categories will not be permitted.

These are the three areas in which all entries, regardless of category, will be judged.

1. Reach of Project or Program: Award-winning entries offer original or effective solutions to today's societal or business problems. Such programs often involve the association's members and/or volunteers and have a broad impact on an industry, profession, or affected community. These programs may be local, national, or international in scope.
2. Embodying the Power of Associations: Award-winning entries effectively showcase how associations strengthen society through volunteerism, education, social responsibility, innovation, research, and problem-solving.
3. Objectives and Outcomes: Award-winning entries generate results that achieve the association's defined and measurable objectives. Results could demonstrate how the program or project, for example, illustrates an association's vision for success, elevates the profession's or industry's image, protects the interests of their members, can be an easily replicated model for other organizations, and/or showcases the important work of associations.
