The Voice Achievers Award events will kick off at Sir Dawda Kairaba Jawara International Conference Centre, Banjul, The Gambia, between August 18 - 20, 2022. The anual event which has been held in Amsterdam, The Netherlands for nine times, has also been hosted in Nairobi, Kenya and Dubai, U.A.E. Banjul is the first West African city to host the sumptuous and plush event which celebrates distinguished Africans and friends of Africa.
This year's event will beam a spotlight on The Gambia by bringing together Africans and Friends of Africa from all over the world, to harness the unique prospects of The Gambia and Africa. It will further explore our common African heritage and ways to advance the African cause as we recognize our dynamic men and women across the continent who are progressively changing lives throughout the length and breadth of Africa.
This year’s Awards theme is “Reinventing Africa’s future through participation” (Sharing inspiring African Stories – Diaspora Connections).
The 2022 Award ceremony is the 12th in our history. We will join other Africans in honouring men and women of African descent, and friends of Africa between August 18 - 20 2022 . His Excellency, President Adama Barrow, the President of Republic of The Gambia is billed to receive The Voice Achievers’ "Icon of Democracy Award 2022". Other notable awardees includes, Dr Mrs. Fatima Maada Bio (First Lady of Republic of Sierra Leone, Winner of "African Woman of the year 2022" and Engineer Ifeoluwa Olusola Oyedele, "African Man of the year 2022".
