The ALM Persons of the Year (POTY) Ceremony is a prestigious gathering that recognizes and celebrates outstanding leaders, visionaries, and changemakers who are shaping Africa’s future. Hosted by African Leadership Magazine, this annual event brings together policymakers, private sector leaders, civil society champions, and thought leaders to discuss critical issues, including Africa’s socio-economic growth, governance, trade, and regional integration.

Over the years, POTY has evolved into a premier platform for honouring people-centred leadership and individuals advancing a pan-African agenda in their fields. At a time when Africa’s economic resilience is evident—with a projected $3.3 trillion GDP by 2025—collaborative and inclusive leadership remains crucial to ensuring sustainable growth and shared prosperity.
