The journey to the 2023 Digital Impact Awards Africa has officially kicked off with submission and validation of entries expected to run until October 10.

This will be followed by the release of the nomination list and a call for public voting.

The Digital Impact Awards Africa, now in their 10th edition, will then culminate into an award night expected on November 17 as part of the annual Digital and Financial Inclusion Summit in Kampala.

The awards, which is a platform that promotes digital and financial inclusion and cyber security, also recognize innovators spearheading the use of digital mediums to serve communities and celebrate digital excellence across the continent.

“When we started, our goal was to contribute to Africa’s digital and financial inclusion journey by not only showcasing the innovations, products and services impacting millions of lives, but also appreciating the people behind them. In just a flash, it is a decade of doing this. We are cognizant of that fact that more efforts are needed for Digital and Financial Inclusion to be a reality,” Mr Innocent Kawooya, the chief executive officer of HiPipo, which is behind the awards, said during the call for nominations in Kampala last week.
