Who we’re looking for

  • A Top100 Africa Future Leaders awardee, from any cohort
  • Work with measurable impact since the award — a venture, a project, a body of research
  • A story with a turning point in it, not just a list of achievements
  • Willing to sit for a recorded interview of about 30 minutes

Why apply

  • Your story reaches the full Top100 network, our magazine and our social platforms
  • A permanent, shareable profile piece you can send to funders and partners
  • Connection with awardees working on adjacent problems across 31 countries
  • A stronger, more specific picture of what African leadership actually looks like
