The King Baudouin Foundation is pleased to announce its BF Africa Prize to reward African organisations which contribute to transforming society and sustainably improving the lives of people in Africa.
It pays particular attention to initiatives that tackle challenges in Africa in transformative ways, which are resilient and adaptable in a constantly changing context, which have a long-term vision, and which empower people to take their future into their own hands.
