Beyond Boundaries supports initiatives that elevate African leadership, deepen continental consciousness, and link recognition with responsibility.
It is in this spirit that Africa Connect (AFRICON), together with the Future Is Female, Men Champions & Honorary Awards, will convene leaders from across Africa and the diaspora in May 2026, Dar es Salaam, Tanzania.
Backed by the Government of Tanzania, from the Presidency through key public institutions and agencies, this continental convening reflects a shared commitment to recognising credible leadership and shaping Africa’s future through dialogue, reflection, and accountability.
The Awards honour service, integrity, and measurable impact, not symbolism. Categories span the full leadership spectrum, including:
Heads of State and Government leaders
Ministers and senior public servants
Business and investment leaders
Regional and multilateral institutions
Civil society, community, and grassroots leaders
Youth and women driving transformation at the frontlines
15–17 April 2026 | Cape Town, South Africa
