PRESS RELEASE
ONLY FEW DAYS LEFT TO ENTER THE ONE AFRICA AWARD 2014
AND STAND A CHANCE TO WIN $100,000
Johannesburg, South Africa (30 September 2014) - ONE Africa, an international campaigning and
advocacy organisation, is about to close applications for the ONE Africa Award 2014, that gives a
Non-Governmental Organisation (NGO) or Civil Society Organisation (CSO) based in Africa the
chance to win $100,000.
The award that was launched in 2000 in support of the attainment of the Millennium Development
Goals (MDGs), celebrates concrete African efforts to drive towards the achievement of the MDGs the
world’s blueprint for a better future, ranging from halving extreme poverty to halting the spread of
HIV/AIDS and providing universal primary education.
The ONE Africa Award 2014 will recognise Africa-driven; Africa-led advocacy efforts that have
demonstrated success at community, national or regional level. The $100,000 award will bring
recognition to innovative African efforts to fight poverty and will incentivise more of such efforts.
Civil society organisations, non-governmental organisations and other groups based in Africa that can
demonstrate commitment and success in advocacy to promote the attainment of one or more of the
MDGs are invited to apply.
In 2012, Positive-Generation (PG), an organisation based in Yaounde, Cameroon won the $100,000.
PG was initially created by a group of university students as a social club to fight the stigmatisation of
HIV positive people and advocated for the government to provide free antiretroviral drugs after
implementing a successful monitoring programme of government health clinics and hospitals.
Applications for this year’s award will be open until 3 October 2014. All interested organisations are
