The KBF Africa Prize rewards African organisations that contribute to sustainably improving the lives of people in Africa.

The Prize is awarded every two years and seeks to draw public attention to the many inspiring stories, challenges and successes emerging from the African continent. In addition to its monetary value of 200,000 euros, it offers its winners unique opportunities to increase their visibility and promote their cause to an international audience.

That the impact of the Prize is much more than financial is confirmed by two former winners in a short video that spans continents: the experience of the KBF Africa Prize.
