The Drivers of Change award recognizes individuals or organizations from across the southern Africa Region that are making a real impact, especially in developing effective public policies and strategies, to overcome poverty. It is awarded in four categories: civil society, government, individual and business. The award has been established to hold up living examples of innovative practices, inclusive attitudes, and effective processes that build social trust and create the best conditions to make a real and lasting difference in the lives of people living in poverty.
Recipients of the award in each of the three categories will demonstrate:
Innovation in the strategies used to develop better public policy;
Policy work with a focus on making a real difference to the material conditions of people living in poverty;
Attentiveness to, and significance for, overcoming poverty and inequality throughout the southern Africa region; and
Inclusion of diverse voices, including voices of the poor.
Nominations will be accepted from individuals or from organizations. Nominees should be individuals in government or agencies of government, individuals active in civil society organizations, or governmental and non-governmental organizations.
