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.
