<p><strong>The International Association of World Peace Advocates (IAWPA), which organizes the Africa Peace Advocate Awards (APAA), has announced the nominees for this year&#8217;s ceremony.</strong></p>
<p>The Africa Peace Advocate Award is a prestigious honor that celebrates individuals or organizations that have significantly contributed to advancing peace and harmony throughout the African continent.</p>
<p>This year&#8217;s event is scheduled for September 21, 2023, at the Pottersville Church Conference Hall in East Legon Hills, Santoe, Accra.</p>
<p>The auspicious ceremony will gather a confluence of distinguished personalities, politicians, philanthropists, and peace advocates from across the world.</p>
<p>It is expected to be graced by Ambassador Per Stephan, the World Peace President from Denmark; Ambassador Emmanuel Nweke, the International Peace Spokesman; Dr. Sammy David from Liberia and Ambassador Livingstone Banjagala from Uganda, among other influential figures from global and African peace-keeping organizations, United Nations delegates, and diplomats.</p>
<p>The Africa Peace Advocate Awards (APAA) 2023, which is being organized on the theme “Action for Africa Peace,” promises to be a memorable occasion ripe with opportunities for connection, dialogue, learning, and inspiration. Attendees can expect enlightening discussions about peace and valuable networking opportunities.</p>
<p>There would be 30 awards targeting 30 deserving awardees who would be honored for their remarkable commitments to championing peace initiatives within the African continent.</p>
<p>According to IAWPA&#8217;s executive board, the selection process took into account recommendations, thorough background checks, social impact, advocacy, and the promotion of peace.</p>
<p>&#8220;The carefully chosen uncategorized list includes Ghanaians from various sectors of the nation, including humanitarian organizations, non-profits, NGOs, international peace initiatives, UN SDGs advocates, businesses, religious organizations, individuals, politicians, media personalities, and public figures, who are promoting peace and championing Africa&#8217;s development.</p>
<p>Through their varied platforms, jobs, and professions, these peace activists and philanthropists are &#8220;reshaping history, bridging inequality gaps, developing leaders, and establishing new paths for wealth creation,&#8221; according to the organizer.</p>
