Selection Process

THE SELECTION PROCESS:

The following comprehensive process will be used to assess all nominations and thus determine the award winners.

The section of award winners will be done through a comprehensive process that ensures the integrity of the awards selection process and consequently the credibility of the awards themselves. The selection process will comprise of the following stages;

1) Nominations will be invited from key identified stakeholders in Africa/UK business relations continent – wide, with self –nominations also being invited;

2) The nominations will be received and any clarifications and/or adjustments to the format used by, or on behalf of nominees will be sought by the organizers and presented by the nominees or their agents;

3) Nominations will be examined to ensure that they meet the eligibility criteria;

4) The contents of nominations that meet the eligibility criteria will then be authenticated by our contracted team of researchers to confirm claims made in the nominations;

5) Where information contained in a nomination is found to be deliberately falsified, the nominee would be automatically disqualified.

6) A specially constituted team of Award Assessment Consultants will then assess each nomination against the assessment criteria established by the organizers using the quantitative performance assessment model designed specifically for this awards scheme ;

A short list of nominations that fulfill both the eligibility and the assessment criteria will then be forwarded to a specially constituted Awards Jury for consideration.

7) The Awards Jury will then meet virtually over several sessions to consider each shortlisted nominee and assign scores according to the quantitative assessment model . Where a member is unable to join meetings either for technical reasons or for reason of unavailability due to acceptable cause, that member will forward his or her scores into the considerations to the meetings of the Jury;

8) Finally the Awards Jury will determine the actual winners and the first and second runners up, by aggregation of the sores assigned by each member.

NB Please note that the identities of the Jurors shall remain confidential until the end of the awards selection process to curtail lobbying of the Jury by nominees.
