Originally launched by TROPICS MAGAZINE during Africa Month (May 2016), the #AfricanDOers powerlist features the sons and daughters of the African continent from all walks of life.
In doing so, the magazine recognizes the contributions of Africa’s most influential leaders who shape Africa’s image. This annual ranking yet again puts under the spotlight figures of Afro-optimism carrying, each in distinct but complementary fields, the hope of a dynamic Africa and land of creativity.
As the magazine celebrates its 11th anniversary this year, the TROPICS MAGAZINE editorial team brings you the biggest list of all time – 500+ success stories from thought leaders, business and social elites, and trendsetters. and innovators who excel in several fields of activity and whose job it is to mark Africa as a leading investment destination. #AfricanDOers is also a call to action on social media to inspire a new generation of DOers by promoting a positive image of the African continent.
