The winners get the opportunity to participate in the ALF plenary session and receive their awards at a prize-giving ceremony – in the presence of distinguished delegates from the forum.

Essay Topic: If you were an African leader, how would you promote African intra-trade to unlock agricultural potential in the Continent?
