Celebrating Excellence Across Africa
Africa Book of World Record is proud to announce the launch of its groundbreaking “Top Series” – a bold new initiative to recognize and celebrate outstanding individuals, institutions, and innovations shaping the future of Africa.

Stay tuned – application portals open soon. Be among the first to take part in this historic celebration of African excellence.
