Celebrating 10 years of ICT innovation in Africa

The 2008 ICT African Achievers Awards has been dubbed the biggest ever, with nominations of outstanding African ICT performers still pouring in from all over the continent. The growth of these awards has been phenomenal with this year's penetration reaching all corners of Africa.

The African ICT Achievers Awards is the brain child of ForgeAhead, a specialist ICT research and consulting house in Africa. Its main aim is to contribute towards achieving the goal of “Making the African century a reality” through ICT.

Says Jane Mosebi, MD of ForgeAhead: “We are extremely excited that the awards have grown with such strong support and commitment from the industry and that the African ICT Achievers Programme has made the impact that it has in recognising and rewarding achievement and in creating role models for others to aspire to.”

“We will also pull out all the stops to make sure that the corporate social investment component of this year's programme will cover a much larger community of ICT people in Africa,” says Mosebi.

“Our donations to needy communities and schools across the continent must have a positive impact and be able to bridge the gap between the privileged and not so privileged.”

“Also, of great excitement is that on this 10th year anniversary of the awards, for the first time, we will have regional winners from the African continent in all the categories.”
