Introduction
On 26 January 2026,Ronalds Africa marked a significant milestone by officially entering into a strategic working partnership with the Global Merit Awards, a prestigious international awards platform dedicated to recognising excellence, leadership, innovation, and impact across industries worldwide.
This partnership, formalised through the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU), positions Africa at the centre of global conversations around merit and recognition, while creating a powerful platform to celebrate individuals and organisations driving meaningful change.
What Is the Global Merit Awards?
The Global Merit Awards is an international initiative established to recognise and celebrate outstanding contributions by individuals, organisations, and institutions that demonstrate exceptional leadership, innovation, sustainability, and social impact.
Unlike traditional awards, the Global Merit Awards places strong emphasis on measurable impact, ethical leadership, and long-term value creation across diverse sectors. The platform brings together global leaders, industry experts, innovators, and institutions under one umbrella, offering recipients global visibility and credibility.
By operating on a truly international scale, the Global Merit Awards serves as a bridge between regions, industries, and ideas—highlighting excellence that transcends borders.
The Strategic Partnership with Ronalds Africa
The partnership between Ronalds Africa and the Global Merit Awards was officially sealed through the signing of an MoU by FCPA Ronald Bwosi, Group CEO of Ronalds Africa, and Mohammed Ahmed, CEO of the Global Merit Awards.
This collaboration is built on shared values of integrity, excellence, innovation, and impact. As the Official Partner of the Global Merit Awards, Ronalds Africa will play a pivotal role in supporting the Awards’ expansion, visibility, and strategic positioning across Africa.
Ronalds Africa’s extensive regional presence, professional expertise, and strong institutional networks make it a key partner in delivering a credible, high-impact awards platform tailored to Africa’s diverse and dynamic landscape.
A Game-Changer for the African Continent
This partnership introduces a first-of-its-kind, game-changing global awards platform to Africa—one designed to bring together influential leaders, major organisations, and industry giants across multiple sectors.
For the first time, African excellence will be recognised within a framework that meets global standards while remaining deeply connected to local and regional impact. The initiative creates an opportunity to:
- Elevate African leaders and organisations onto a global stage
- Promote cross-industry collaboration and knowledge exchange
- Strengthen Africa’s visibility in global leadership and innovation conversations

By uniting key stakeholders from across industries, the Global Merit Awards aims to foster a culture of merit-based recognition that inspires future generations of leaders.
