Celebrating Youth Excellence

Established in 2022, the Top 16 Youth-Owned Brands Awards (YOBA) is a platform that recognises and celebrates youth excellence in Africa. The Top 16 YOBA acknowledges that young people are not only contributing to the economy of Africa but to the overall image of the continent. ​

In a time when the unemployment rate is at an all-time high, these awards recognise the youth that create jobs and make a difference.​
