The stage is set for the 8th Women’s Choice Awards Africa, a premier event gathering elite corporate executives, visionary entrepreneurs, creative trailblazers, and trailblazing organizations from across the continent. Spearheaded by Accra-based experiential marketing agency Global Ovations, the annual showcase honors those championing gender equity and female leadership in Ghana and the broader African region.
Built on the foundation of elevating women and girls, the platform goes beyond simple ceremony. Global Ovations designs the event to drive real-world opportunity, breaking down systemic barriers so women can thrive in executive suites, boardrooms, and communities.
Over the years, the awards have cast a spotlight on transformative leaders spanning banking, entertainment, public service, healthcare, and media. A past ceremony saw 64 change-makers take home top honors, including high-profile figures such as actress Jackie Appiah, veteran broadcaster Gifty Anti, MTN Ghana executive Antoinette Kwofie, and Zenith Bank Board Chair Freda Yahan Duplan.
