The Women’s Choice Award allows women to choose with confidence, knowing that other women and Men across Africa would highly recommend it to their family and friends.

With the women of Africa at heart and Africa’s Future in mind, Global Ovations Limited (Organisers of the women Choice Awards) has decided upon us to come up with this award in a special collaboration with The Oprah Winfrey Network to honour women and men who passionately advocate for the empowerment of girls and women and others who get inspired from the works and services provided to empower women in their decision making to be a catalyst  for creative solutions that fosters ongoing success in life, career and in business.

An important opportunity to honour men and women whose voices influences a woman’s choice. As a result, The WCAA board vetted the numerous applications that came from the public.

The WCAA board has carefully selected outstanding men and women in the following categories below.
