ACTIVE ON INTERNATIONAL LEVEL KOFI ANNAN AWARD FOR INNOVATION IN AFRICA: PROMOTING SDGS The “Kofi Annan Award for Innovation in Africa” aims to promote innovative social entrepreneurs from all over the African continent. Each year, the focus is placed on a different SDG. The idea of the “Kofi Annan Award for Innovation in Africa” (KAAIA) already occurred in the context of the Austrian EU Presidency in 2018. The project materialised after the “High-Level Africa-Europe Forum” under the motto “Taking cooperation into the digital age”. The declared objective of KAAIA is a partnership between Africa and Europe, beyond theaway from classical development cooperation. In memory of the former UN Secretary General, the programme aims toshould make a contribution contribute to an inclusive and more equitable just world. Support for social entrepreneurs By founding the Global Compact in the year 2000, former UN Secretary General Kofi Annan already highlighted the importance of the private sector for the fight against poverty. The Global Compact is a global pact between the UN and companies to make economic growth and globalisation more sustainable. On the power of business, the former Secretary General said at the time: “But governments cannot do it alone. Civil society groups have a critical role, as partners, advocates and watchdogs. So do commercial enterprises. Without the private sector, sustainable development will remain only a distant dream.” 140
ACTIVE ON INTERNATIONAL LEVEL In this spirit, KAAIA now identifies innovative social entrepreneurs from the African continent, supporting them in scaling their sustainable solutions. The prize is awarded every two years, focusing on a specific SDG each time. The first edition of the awards prioritised digital solutions in the area of SDG 3 (health and well-being) due to the COVID 19 pandemic. For the 2024 awards, the focus will be on food security and thus SDG 2 (No Hunger), due to current developments. Procedure and awards After a “Call for Innovations”, nine teams of finalists are selected out of all the participating startups. These teams flesh out their solutions during a five-day innovation bootcamp at the World Food Programme Innovation Accelerator before presenting them to a high-ranking international jury. The jury then selects three winners who, in addition to receiving funding of 250,000 euros each, take part in a 12-months “sprint program” of the World Food Programme Innovation Accelerator. In scaling their solutions, they are supported by mentors as © BKA/Regina Aigner 141
