The AFRICA MSME Growth Awards is organised by UZIA Awards to recognise the counties and businesses driving MSME growth across Africa — 15 categories for Africa's counties, 49 categories for individual entrepreneurs and businesses, and 2 Special Recognition awards (Lifetime Achievement and People's Choice), across entrepreneurship, finance, markets, infrastructure and innovation.
The award aligns with the Awards' mission: recognising the counties and businesses that make it easier for MSMEs to start, survive, grow and compete, benchmarking excellence across Africa's MSME economy.
