The laureate of the German Africa Award 2024

Yvonne Aki-Sawyerr, the mayor of the Sierra Leonean capital Freetown, has been awarded the German Africa Award 2024 for her innovative and unwavering commitment to sustainable urban development and local participation. With this award, the German Africa Foundation (DAS) recognises Aki-Sawyerr's commitment to sustainability, citizen participation and climate-friendly urban development, which goes far beyond the duties of her office. Aki-Sawyerr, who was confirmed for a second term in office in June 2023, already has an impressive track record: By drawing up the ‘Transform Freetown - Transforming Lives’ development plan, which involved representatives from business and civil society as well as the government, she has not only shown how political participation can be successfully implemented. She has also initiated the construction and commissioning of the first wastewater treatment plant in Freetown.
