Driving real change in business

At Business Engage, we created the Gender Mainstreaming Awards to drive real change — by recognising and rewarding private-sector companies and individuals committed to advancing diversity, fostering inclusion, and cultivating a true sense of belonging in the mainstream of business.

We invite your organisation to enter the awards and to nominate outstanding individuals for the prestigious individual categories. With a range of categories tailored to reflect your organisation's current stage in its diversity journey, there is a place for every company — whether you are just starting out or already making bold strides.

The awards span East Africa, West Africa and Southern Africa, with a key requirement that all finalists attend the prestigious Gender Mainstreaming Awards events. There is no cost to submit an application.

Exclusive sponsorship and partnership opportunities are available for those who wish to position themselves as true champions of gender mainstreaming. We would be delighted to explore these with you.
