2011 Africa Prize
The Africa Prize is awarded to Africans who exhibit exceptional leadership,
exemplifying courage, vision and commitment to the well-being of the African
people. It focuses on individuals working in areas such as public policy,
innovation, agriculture, education and health whose leadership and policies
contribute to the sustainable end of hunger at the national, regional or

the many African leaders who are making bold decisions and taking the necessary actions to resolve the pressing agricultural, economic, political and social
issues facing the continent.
