Hence in 2006, we decided to institute the AFRICAN COUNTRY OF THE YEAR
AWARD, to recognize the country that has practices the ideas embodied in our
mission statement, including good governance, sound management of public
funds, respect for human rights and the rule of law.
In 2006 Senegal became the first country to receive the award for, among other
things, being a democratic country, religiously tolerant, respecting human rights
and gender equality and being of the few countries in Africa not to have
experienced a military government.
CAF has been carrying out our mission of publicizing Africa positively in so many
ways. Because of our belief that Africa is ripe for private sector investment, it
organized the most successful event on Wall Street to let the bastion of
investment capital understand that Africa is open for business.
In that spectacular event, a first was achieved when 53 high school from the
T.R.U.C.E. each carried one of the flags of the African countries represented at
the United Nations.
The Celebrate Africa Foundation has also taken a different route to show how the
world should view Africa. We believe, as our mission indicates, in positively
promoting Africa.
