Sustaining Impact Prize

The Sustaining Impact Prize is an initiative aimed at celebrating and rewarding innovative solutions that drive sustainable development in Africa. As part of the SIS, this inaugural edition of the prestigious prize marks the start of a tradition to recognize impact-focused organizations and initiatives that demonstrate a commitment to self-sufficiency.

These organizations are recognized for their excellence in efficiently and effectively resourcing their impact-related work or for establishing systems and frameworks that facilitate sustainable resourcing in an African context.
